What counts as severe driving?
- Frequent short trips under 10 miles (engine never fully warms up)
- Stop-and-go city or commute traffic
- Dusty or sandy roads, unpaved surfaces
- Extreme cold below 0°F or sustained heat above 90°F
- Towing, hauling heavy loads, or roof-box highway driving
If two or more apply, pick “severe” — your oil degrades faster than the owner’s manual baseline.
Guidance based on typical manufacturer ranges for full synthetic oil. Your specific vehicle’s owner’s manual and any on-board oil life monitor take precedence.
