New truck, first scheduled oil change at 10,000... really?

Oil threads. Oil threads never change.

 

Mine does not.

 

Is this quote in reference to "War, war never changes" big FO fan here... well except 76, we do not talk about that one.

 

Are you reading the English version

 

Yes. Maybe we get better oil up in Canada so we can drive further. Gravity might be a little less too due to ellipsoid shape of earth. C’mon man.......stawwp.

 

Had a VW Jetta wagon, every 10K mile maintenance, sold it at 95K still ran like new NEVER a problem...syn oil even says on bottle up to 20K, just go by owners manual

 

In Santa Barbara they have the good oil too. 10K for those sonbitches.

No. And WTF. None of the rags listed here are sources of anything scientific or reproducible. These are magazines and newspapers (the guardian, is one step above the daily mail, wtf again). Studies and the scientific method aren't judged by their "accuracy". That's not how any of this works. Wikipedia is garbage. It's the laughing stock of everyone in the scientific community.

 

Technically you weigh less as you get closer to the equator due to centrifugal force.

 

You could have went 130k miles with just one or two oil changes. It's up there somewhere in this thread

 

That might explain the 5K oil change. The oil isn’t draining down into the pan where it’s needed.

 

Well I think you may have missed some...
"the Canadian Library Association, and several peer-reviewed academic studies."

 

I’m moving to Santa Barbara. They know how to treat a Taco with a 2GR-FKS right down there.

 

I'm missing the wasting money part by changing it at 5K miles

Are you intentionally leaving out the footnotes that go along with the 5k oil changes or just not reading them?

 

“Replace engine oil and oil filter 1

door-to-door delivery use:

There another one you're missing.... Has to do with the section you are quoting....
