But the good thing is that people have been running this oil for dd purposes way past the 10k mark with good results, so if your engine is already running it you should be ok.

I was a bit skeptical with changing the oil at 5k miles+. So far I've had the Sustina in since 10000miles. Currently at 14.5k miles checked the oil yesterday and I have to say it looks pretty good. Im going to change it out a 15k miles. How long have you been running before changing out?

15k haha, my oild would have been changed already if it weren't for the 3 week lead time, but I'm not too stressed about it.

How often do you change your oil?

Usually every 10k, but I've been really preoccupied recently so I'm just getting around to it now

So 10k miles on Sustina should be okay? I'm used to 3k oil changes lol

Hey guys,

Just wanted to chime in on the Sustina issue. We do stock it in-house, but we were out for some time as distributors were out and awaiting a new shipment to come in via container. This is why it takes some time to come in as when stock is out, we are waiting on slow boat from Japan....

Plenty in stock now though guys. I suggest getting enough for at least 2 oil changes so you aren't in a bind when it comes time to do another change. With this oil, it happens quite often that the US distributors are out of stock. I know because I've had many unhappy customers because of it.

If you are lucky, you might be able to find it on the shelf at your local NAPA store, though....

Cheers,
-Yo

Expect an order for 6 quarts of Sustina and a HKS oil filter again.

Hey quick question with the Sustina how often should I change my oil every 5k? I've read of people going up to 10k but I don't want to take the risk.

Your own results may vary, I'm changing mine close to 10k after repeated testing.

If you don't know any better, change it at factory recommended intervals.

Premium oils like Sustina, should not break down as quickly. Your oil intervals should be pretty high, 7.5k is a number I see a lot with this oil, but I bet it could see more. A Blackstone oil analysis would be best to determine your oil interval with the specific oil you are using and your engine.

Well normally synthetic oil should be okay for 7500 miles, generally speaking. It's not like conventional oil where you need to change it every 3k lol.
Someone did UOA on sustina at 15k and it looked really good... I think it was in the dedicated UOA thread, or maybe an eneos sustina thread. I don't really remember

longest I ever did with sustina is around 7500 or 8000. It looked fine. But I like changing it around 6k...
