Probiotics are a big and rapidly growing business, with annual global sales of products expected to rise to $42 billion by 2016. The term probiotic refers to dietary supplements (tablets, capsules, powders, lozenges and gums) and foods (such as yogurt and other fermented products) that contain âbeneficialâ or âfriendlyâ bacteria. The organisms themselves are also called probiotics.
Mobil 1 Extended Performance synthetic oil is recommended for oil change intervals up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever occurs first. Thatâs roughly FIVE TIMES longer than conventional oil change wisdom recommends. Thatâs massive. Imagine the savings from both the actual oil and the change procedure costs. ELF: You can run a conventional oil 5K miles but you should be able to run a synthetic oil 7500 to 10000 miles.
Oil changes are needed frequently to avoid this problem (ergo every 3,000 to 5,000 miles). The durability of synthetic oil at the same engine temperature makes it a better-performing product because synthetic still stays in liquid, usable form longer. This tolerance for temperature means the oil can stay in the engine and can last as much as 7,000 miles before changing. Most oil and car warranties will put the maximum length of mileage before a change at 7,500 for petroleum-based products (many cars are closer to 5,000 even with today's better engines). Given the heat-tolerance properties of synthetic oil, 7,500 miles is not an issue.
