Q: Advice on using oil combinations and changing oil

Yes, I would use a higher-quality filter because if you do use a higher-quality filter with that synthetic oil, you can change your oil every 7,000 or 10,000 miles instead every 5,000 miles or 3,000 miles. I would use a better filter, but with that said, the higher grade oil is really only made for the drivers that really push their cars hard. Some guys would get 12-14,000 miles with synthetic oil which I think is crazy. But for that type of driving, you really have to have a better filter. I like better filters anyways. If you’ve got a lot of dirt in your engine, you are better off with a quality filter that is going to filter more stuff and hold more dirt to keep it out of the suspension system. So I use quality filters in my own cars all of the time. If you want to have an oil and filter change, a technician from YourMechanic can come to your home or office to perform this service for you using quality fluid and filters.
