homestead Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just changed the oil on my son's 2016 C-max Energi. Uses it for commuting, drives 60 miles/day about 20 miles ofit is electric. Used Mobile One synthetic 0W-20 extended miles. Oil says its guaranteed for 15000 miles.I assume that is for normal ICE vehicle. So how many miles could he go before changing oil again?Has anyone tested the Mobile One Oil in their car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 i use the full synthetic 5W20 Mobil One and go by the oil life on the monitor. Usually average 10-12K miles between changes when the Oil LIfe monitor says 10% or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianewman Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Here's a single data point for you. DFW region, 2013 CMax, at 73k miles, Blackstone tested the oil with 17k miles on the Ford Motocraft Full Synthetic, 5w-20. Blackstone said I could have run the oil to 19k miles. Oil was tested May 30, 2018, so it was largely run through the winter months in the DFW region...ambient temps mostly 60-75f, maybe a few weeks 50-60f. Probably a 50/50 balance of city/highway.

pianewman Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I was surprised, as well. Keep in mind, your climate/driving style, etc. might be vastly different than mine. Mine is a single data-point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
