Don't even believe 25k between oil changes,sure way to ruin your engine.Most of there oils are not even SAE certified and there drain intervals are not any higher/longer then any other synthetic and should be tested before attemping to go beyond 5k OCI's.

I use to use it all the time in my mustang and wrangler. Mainly because i got it really cheap from my brother. Now i use Mobil 1. 1 oil change per year and never had an issue. Ended up normally being around 8k miles.

I've used Mobil 1 in all the cars and changed oil every 10K give or take. Never had any issues. My dads Lexus LX470 has about 200K on it and hes been changing the oil in it every 10-12K since day 1 and it still runs just as strong as the day he got it.

I'm sure its a great product but i used it on my 02 and it created some leaks because its works too good. It tends to clean out all the yucky stuff in the engine and created a few oil leaks for me. the worst was the oil pan :evil:
