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

Its 5K, It's has always been 5K, and now there's a reminder idiot light to remind those in doubt

 

And for those that believe oil replacement is not needed because its better, that's misunderstood. Oil is better, but contaminants still accumulate inside the engine at about the same rate as the old oil. It needs to be flushed out.
The sooner the better

“Oil needs to be changed because it gets contaminated with combustion by-products that accumulate at about the same rate regardless of oil type”

Please note; “regardless of oil type”

You seem really obsessed with this topic.

 

Who Me??

We get a new thread on the subject over & over so there must be a need for an answer. I'm just trying to help cause I'm a good guy

 

Holy fuck, you really like those 5k changes.

 

RTFM

 

Not so, you couldn't be more wrong. I despise them as much as the 10k change camp.
The only difference is I want the best chance for the engine to live happily ever after. And the OIL is its life blood

 

Well wouldnt the engine be happiest if you change it like every 1k? That way there will be always clean fresh oil, and it will last for at least 2 million miles.

 

technically maybe, but there's a point of diminishing returns were the oil changes cost more than a brand new engine, so there's that.

 

You're onto something. I'm converting mine to a once-through total-loss oiling system.

 

We actually don’t import that much oil because we produce so much, actually the US produces more oil than any other country. Fun fact

We need to calculate when the oil changes will cost more than a brand new engine. That will be our magic number.

We need math wizards here.

 

You are a damn genius!

 

The bonus is that all the oil coming out where the oil pan used to be will extend the life of my frame until the heat death of the universe.

 

Canada also produces more oil than we consume, but we still import from Saudi Arabia, because that’s the deal. They buy lots of Canadian-made LAVs. We sell them billions in armoured personnel carriers, and we, in turn, buy billions in oil.

 

Where does the Maple Syrup Mafia fit into this?

 

You should be the chief engineer at toyota.

Our engines will be sparkling inside and the frames will look brand new, just wow.

2 birds, 1 stone.

 

Ya and next you are going to suggest that we change our underwear every day.

 

The math wizards will need to also factor in the expected inflation rate or replacement value. It just so happens I priced an identical new one to mine the other day and it was $4k more before TTL costs!

And I don’t even want a lot of the expensive troublesome tech, I chit my pants is what I did I tell you
