5000 miles for me, non synthetic 10w-40 valvoline

How many miles are on your truck? If there is over 100000 you should change it every 3-5 thousand miles and if you are running synthetic you should change every 3000 regardless.

56k

and no thats not my internet connection.:ugh3:

I don't put that many miles on my truck, so I change it every 6 months. It ends up working out to be about 1200 miles inbetween oil changes :woowoo:

I use Mobil 1, full synthetic, 10w-30.

 

[Big Flick]

Ya if you have 56k miles on the truck I would change it every 5000 miles depending on how much you drive. If you get over 100000 miles though you want to start changing it every 3000 miles.

Every 3000 with conventional 10W-40

I change mine every 145,000 miles whether it needs it or not.

I only change the filter every other time though to save a few bucks since they are so expensive.

I usually try to use only the best like Wesson but I only buy it when it's on sale. If it isn't on sale then I just get the generic store brand.

Plus my oil is self changing. I check it every six months or so and every time it's exactly four quarts low. Then I add six just as an added preventitive measure.

My buddy says I should add some sand or speedi dry to it so it won't leak but I think that would just clog the filter faster and make it necessary for me to change the filter EVERY oil change. I don't think I want to spend that kind of money. It might quiet the valves down a little though so maybe I'll give it a try.

What do you guys think?

I change mine every 145,000 miles whether it needs it or not...... YOU CHANGE YOUR OIL EVERY 145000 Miles. I didnt know that your truck could last that long without an oil change lol!

 

[nytwolf]

I just keep adding oil cause it keeps blowing out my rear main seal. No need to change the oil yet.

 

[StevetheRiddler]

I change mine every 3000 miles. 10w-40 in the winter, 20w-50 in the summer.

I finally figured out a system for this that even I can remember...

Whenever I see a 3, 6, or 9 in the 4th number from the right (Not counting the 10ths... ) in my odometer I change the oil...

My changes are so infrequent in my truck now that I had trouble remembering to do it until I figured out that little trick...

Technically I try to shoot for 33xx, 66xx, and 99xx, but who's counting?

ovrrdrive, your one of those guys that has a pipe in his mouth, goofy round glasses, phat mustace, scarf , and leather driving gloves arent you?

 

[91_ToYoTa_CaMrY]

not very often i was once driving the car with no oil which was weird and it sounded like it has one of those mufflers on those damn honda's. it was cool until i found out i had no oil LOL usually once or twice a year..depends

that doesn't make any sense... synthetic oil lasts longer than dyno oil. (true synthetic, mobile 1 isn't a true synthetic anymore)

MOBIL 1- It's a Group III hydrocracked mineral oil.

that being said, i use Castrol German 0W-30 along with NAPA/wix filters (proven to be the best aside from brands like Canton).

don't tell me that 0w30 is too thin until you do some real, solid research.

i change my oil every 6k miles, filter at 3k miles.

i don't understand why you say to change synthetic at 3k regardless. if anything, you should change regular dyno oil at 3k regardless. a true synthetic will outlast a dyno oil, bar none.

I figure about twice a day or so

But in My truck it happens when I think about it. I try for 4000 miles or so but sometimes it probably goes to 6000.

 

[Glenn?]

i usually start thinking about changing my oil at about 3k and then i usually do it about 3-4k later.
