Note: Some commercial oils that meet API specifications may require shorter oil change intervals. The oil change intervals are determined by close monitoring of the oil condition and engine wear metals. AVSpare prefers scheduled oil sampling as the proper method of checking engine wear metals.
Consult your AVSpare dealer for the latest oil recommendations.
