When do you guys change your oil?
At a set interval? 5k, 7.5k, 10k?
Or when the truck tell you its due for a oil change, the message on the dash?
If you change it at say, 7500 miles, do you get the dash message first and just ignore it and wait for when it gets to a certain mileage?
I drive about 17-23,000 miles a year. I've been using the truck to tell me when to change the oil for at least 10 yrs. Not really sure how long my change intervals are. Somewhere between 5-8,000 miles?? I only use synthetic oil. Mobil 1 on my last truck. Penzoil Platinum on the Ram. My next oil change I will be switching to the Ultra Platinum. Lately I've been using K&N oil filters. I used to use one of the higher end Fram filters, but the orange clashed with other colors in my front end. So I had to switch.
