My wife's 2020 Mitsubishi SUV is coming up on 2 years since the last oil change. By the odometer, she has driven a little over 7000 miles. Car gets driven regularly, but short trips. Some 20-30 mins in length every couple weeks so we know the engine gets up to temperature. Oil is full synthetic.
Am I pushing the limits here (or over them), or get to the 2yr/8000 mile mark OK?

Just checked and the level is still over the Full line (they must have overfilled a bit..)

My sons 24 civic we change at 40% oil life, use Honda filters and he drives a lot. He buys penzoil synthetic. I use to run amsoil in everything but it too expensive. I run it in my GMC with a 5.3 and also change 40% but I am getting rid of that POS this week and leaving GM forever after owning mostly GM vehicles since the mid 90s in favor of a Tundra. That will get frequent oil changes at 40% as well. The -6 I use GTX classic with an added zddp supplement. That gets changed at 1K as that’s about a year . Wish I could afford amsoil in that car but darn near have to take a loan for that much oil lol
