Close your eyes and find something else to focus your time on, she’ll be fine whatever that time/count or whatever it is.
I'm with ya. Fact remains that if you wanted to spend the resources sending a sample of your used oil for analysis, even at 7-10K miles, it passes with flying colors. Is this practical for your average Ram owner? Heck no. You can do a nice synthetic oil change for the same price.
If it was horrifically expensive or difficult to change oil on my Ram, I'd for sure run that OLM down to single digits. I still somewhat enjoy changing my own oil. It gives me a chance to check over the vehicle and I know if I mess something up, it was done by my own dumb ***.
Exactly, ask some the Mercedez folks, they have what 15-20K miles OCI's ? lol
If FCA said that much is ok in the manual, i'll have no reason not to do it, i did send a couple of samples back in 2010 to Blackstone lab, one with 10k miles OCI, another with 12k miles, both times results came out great, and in fact they even said i could go little higher to 15k miles, at the time i was using German Castrol 0w40 in a different application, so i closed my eyes and started doing my oil changes when the bell goes off, no issues ever since. Either way will be ok, if you want to spent 3-5 times more a year in oil changes, oil companies will appreciate it
, your engine won't know the difference if you're using a good synthetic oil.
