How many mile do you go over your scheduled oil change?

I just realized Im over by 60 miles, is this doing damage to my car? Im going this Fri. to get it done. Thanks!!!How many mile do you go over your scheduled oil change?If you're over by just 60 miles, you have nothing to worry about. The maintenance schedule is not an absolute number.How many mile do you go over your scheduled oil change?the recomended interval is 3000 miles or every 3 months.but then again that is only a recommendation.it depends on how well you wish to maintain your car.if you are consistently over switch to synthetic and change every 5000-7500 miles depending on where you live and how you drive.also maintain your air filter.a clogged air filter will cost you in gas.60 miles over is nothing.i see them in my shop all the time anywhere from 1000-10,000 miles over.just remember proper maintenance of your car will not only save you money at the pump but will also help prevent those pain in the butt breakdowns which always occur at the most inconveniant times.How many mile do you go over your scheduled oil change?Yer ok. I haven't changed oil in over a year. Oil is a lubricant. It does break down eventually, but it still lubricates, just not as efectively as original. as long as it is full, then that is the main thing to worry about. The oil splashes up from the bottom of the engine and lubricates all of the necessary components. If it is low, it will not splash up and lubricate, thus a blown engine. Don't get me wrong, I do advocate regular maintenance of a vehicle, but I think some people make too big of a thing about it.How many mile do you go over your scheduled oil change?You will be ok. I use Mobil 1 and change at 5,000 miles.
