What is the average number of kilometers being run by our vehicles running daily in the city here in the Philippines?

[papi smith]

same here. ako mapapa change oil na din without reaching 3t kms in a year.

Our old car is at 2k and less than 2 months to a year, while the new one is 3k, so total sana namin for the year is 5k, this used to be 7k when we were 1 car only.

Yung last picture ko 2.9K km palang.. Last kong full tank nung April pa, umabot na ng September di pa ako nagpapagas uli [emoji28]

Pre-pandemic, I normally clock in an average of 800-900 km/month. But since January of last year (my previous oil change) to date, my car only traveled less than 4,000 km in the span of 19 months. That's just an average of 210 km/month.

On the upside, a full tank lasts around 2 months, sometimes even longer.

Hindi ba parang napapanis ang fuel pag hindi nagagamit o nasusunog sir?

[Dr.Kamiya]

My covid runabout got its oil changed just before our first lockdown March last year. Up to now hindi pa na oil change ulit, pero malapit na.
Roughly 4300kms in 18 months.

Mine's a Diesel vehicle. I don't think 1-2 months will make much of a difference on the Diesel fuel inside the tank. After doing some reading online, it appears that Diesel would last a minimum of 6 to 12 months in a typical fuel tank.

Mas mabilis mapanis gasoline.... 3-6 months.

It's not to say na hindi na aandar yung car with a 3 or 6 months-old fuel. Pero definitely, degraded na yung fuel. YMWV.

[papi smith]

So almost 2 years ka na hindi nagpa change oil doc?

ganun na nga po.
pull out the dipstick and we see nice clean oil.
we drive her out from time to time.

I'm convinced there should be no problems with old oil, at least with synthetic.

It's the water in the radiator (if not using coolant) and the fuel (because of the ethanol content if not using Blaze) that's problematic.

I tried looking for an article in the net but I cannot find one. Most of them are US based articles...

City Life, 10Years per 10Kilometers.

[carxynogen]

City Life, 14km per day to office.
Other car, 2-3 km per day.

[oj88]

City: Around 32-35km daily commute + occasional weekend family trips. Roughly 750-800km per month.

I did 1-4-4-4-5-month oil changes during the free 5 PMS schedules bundled when the car was new. Now that it's fully broken-in, engine oil changes is going to be every 6 months.

Main consideration is that my use case falls under severe conditions: Long idling times, stop-and-go traffic, and mostly driving in dusty conditions.

Two wheels: at least 5-10km
Four wheels: at least 10-15km

Typically every other day for each from workplace alone then back excluding rare weekend and special trips. But sometimes none at all, sometimes consecutive and sometimes both vehicles run within the same day/s. In short, irregular.
