Does anyone here run non synthetic motor oil
I'm 4800 miles into my oil change. Since new I've ran castrol gtx 520. I change my oil at 5 k miles I now have 46k on the truck. Usually when I change it it still at least looks like oil. This stuff is so dark I can't read the dipstick. I've done 2 oil changes since I moved to alaska. And they were both this bad. When I was east coast. It was a lot of highway commuting. Here. Is a lot of short driving up some ridiculously steep hills. Should I change my oil more often? Switch oil? Or Make the change to synthetic. I ran Mobil 1 full synthetic in my last truck. But that's what was in it when I bought it.
