Should I ever get an oil change more than twice a year, though? I drive a lot for work, so I usually get three or four oil changes a year because of the mileage. I also live in an area with extreme climate in both the summer and winter. <a href="http://www.fleetservicechicago.com/SERVICES.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.fleetservicechicago.com/SERVICES.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158863920266744241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-52509361465707277452014-06-24T19:25:37.173-06:002014-06-24T19:25:37.173-06:00I live in a tropical country (Brazil), in fact, th...I live in a tropical country (Brazil), in fact, the hottest place on Brazil. Temperatures are never lower than 24º C (75 Farenheit), and it reaches 40° C (104 Farenheit) sometimes during December. My car is a Nissan March (Micra K13 in UK), equipped with the nissan HR16DE 1.6 liter engine, same as the US-spec Versa Sedan. The Manual states to use semi-synthetic 10w-40 OIL for all regions of Brazil, but now, Nissan switched it to 5w-30 semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Won't the 5W-30 be just too thin, considering the high temperatures? What do you think? I change the oil every four months (manual says 10.000km or 12 months, but I think it's the best to change before that).<br />pimenta59https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903631939339964240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-31308626124776646542014-06-05T13:48:56.388-06:002014-06-05T13:48:56.388-06:00I do agree. More than just the distance traveled, ...I do agree. More than just the distance traveled, the reason for having an oil change is multi-faceted. It will always depend on how you treat the engine of your car. Another thing to consider is the weather patterns in your area, which can really affect your car’s condition. Your post is very informative, by the way. Thanks for sharing! :D<br /><br /><a href="http://georgetownshell.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-importance-of-preventive.html" rel="nofollow">Bobby Ladson @ George Town Shell</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571957045614720255noreply@blogger.com
