I do 10k oil changes in my F-150 using Mobil 1 synthetic. It's an N/A V8.
I'm doing 5-6k oil changes in the BMW since it's turbocharged and obviously more expensive to repair/replace than a coyote. Synthetic oil of course, euro spec.

Same here except I change my track car oil more frequently since it’s driven hard. Video interesting to see nevertheless.
I get it that big SUVs are not everyone’s cup of tea but the sheer roominess due to the size is one of the best things. I was just at a light, look at all this room. It’s HUGE inside. Customers like this a lot, in all biggies. Luxury cars don’t feel spacious like they used to because of the designs. Another reason luxury sedans minus S-Class are hardly appealing to me at least.
i appreciate all that space if i'm filling it up with people/cargo, but driving around a big empty SUV just makes me feel like i'm taking up all this extra road space for nothing and spending all this additional money on fuel for no reason
The giant SUVs used to make me smirk on Monday mornings when I would see one person in an SUV that was quite large just going to work in traffic. Most SUVs in CA do not have turn signals because it’s rare that you see one unless it’s just still on by accident. To each their own and if you want to drive a huge vehicle, have at it.
A big BOF SUV like that is just no replacement for a big luxury sedan if you value what the sedan brings to the table. Most of my driving is in traffic, I move in and out through traffic on a regular basis and I'm always on and off the phone working while I'm driving, a BOF SUV is just too big and ponderous for me to enjoy driving day to day. If all I did was drive 15 miles to and from work I might feel differently, but thats not how I drive. The big sedan is so refined and effortless and quiet, big and spacious but still nimble enough to dart into and out of a gap in traffic...just have no interest in trying to do that in a Yuklon or Escalade.
I have a good friend who had a Yukon Denali and traded it last year on a BMW iX for that same reason, the Yukon was just too big to drive around here and park every day.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, I understand!
I just like space. Space and roominess equals luxury and well I’m average height maybe a little taller and I hit my head in an LS500.

I have a response to this and something else you said earlier but I’m locked out of my laptop and doing it all on the iPhone is too much.
I get it, bottom line. Personal preference.
But still. Guys they’re not 18 wheelers lol. Steve how much longer is the Yukon than your car?
GM started with the “nimble and shrinks aroubd you” ads with the GMT800. And it did, the 2022 even better. I’ll elaborate if I can ever get close to a keyboard that works again. Sales show clearly that most people are fine with them. But I’mnot arguing opinions are wrong.

that's the LS 500's fault, it's too cramped and cavernous inside for a 'flagship'... after i test drove that car getting back into my 400 was like a breath of fresh air

Its only 2 inches longer, but the dimensions don't tell the whole story. Its much heavier and doesn't have anywhere near the same agility, its obviously much taller and you have to think about parking garages let alone my own home garage etc. It doesn't have nearly the same throttle response, its not nearly as quiet nor is it as refined and relaxed riding. Its just a big truck vs a car with highly sophisticated suspension etc. Then on top of that I like to keep my cars clean and well maintained and cleaning a huge SUV like that is a lot more work than a sedan. There are just a lot of reasons why I prefer a sedan.
I have driven these a lot, I have rented them for weeks at a time. Like I said I couldn't wait to get my S Class back when I had that GLS for a week, and thats smaller and more carlike than a Yukon.
