Engine oil OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

I do mine every 5k on my 2010 Honda Accord 2.4L with synthetic oil. Engine oil is much cheaper than an entire engine.

I go 6k miles on my 2020 passport (Mobil 1 syn. and Wix syn. oil filter). I also rotate my tires at the same time. Change intervals are debatable. The cost is negligible to me in exchange for knowing I have fresh oil and a filter on my rig. Further, I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10 to 12 more years so engine longevity without issues is very important to me. Besides, I would rather error on changing too soon vs. going too long. Peace of mind.

I have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4L with 220,000 miles on it. I change my oil with 0W-20 full synthetic every 8,000 to 10,000 miles or usually when my oil light get to about 10 to 5%. I’ve had zero problems so far.

My old 8th gen, I changed it once the maintenance minder popped to zero. Never sooner. My logic, easy driving, quality oil, I'm well within safe margins. That car was fed mobil 1 most of its life. Valvetrain stayed bright aluminum. OCI's we're near 6800 miles.

8k miles is just fine. I did that the entire time I've had multiple cars and they have gone a great distance:

I use my 09 Fit as a courier vehicle. I've driven over 80,000 miles in 14 months. If I did oil changes every 5k miles, I'd be under the car every 3 weeks.

I just follow the maintenance minder, which works out to 10k miles, give or take, but I've done that over all the 175,000 miles I've put on it in 10 years. I use Castrol GTX high mileage, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference. I've seen a lot of stuff saying Walmart Supertech is probably just as good,if not better than name brand oils.

I do my own valve adjustments, and the inside of the engine is nice and clean...

I drive my car pretty hard, so 5k is preferred for me.

Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.

I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.

Wife has a 2015 jetta with the 1.8t and burns 1L every 500 -700 miles. My 2016 a3 burns relatively nothing but maybe half a liter every oil change interval and has same engine.

After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
