I change my oil myself because I enjoy working on my truck and don't
ever consider it a waste of time. I have been using Perulator Pure
One filters and Casterol. When you take to have it serviced it is
harder to make choices. I've always changed oil every 3000 miles,
and usually keep my vehicles to the 150,000 mark.
