So I've got a 2017 Ram 1500 Hemi, just around 2200 miles so far on her.
WHEN do you guys suggest doing the first change? I could obviously go through the evic and just watch the oil life meter, however I do ALOT of short drives. My daily commute to work is only about 1.5 miles. So right off the bat I'm thinking because of that excessive wear I should step up to do changes sooner. On my previous 2013 jeep I just went by the gauge but it was a lease, this truck I own and want to baby her.
Furthermore I plan to do changes my self, this way I KNOW what is going in the truck. So suggest oil and a filter, I read through the big synthetic thread but honestly it is so much technical information. Thanks for any help guy!
