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

Ok. Internet won for this week. ^^^

 

Whoa!

 

Right?! It's only Friday! What will we do with tomorrow, Friday, or the day after, also Friday?

 

Someone will need to know how to turn off a map light. Someone will need to know about 33s. Someone will need to talk about the Danger Ranger. Someone will give us purpose.

 

Please, talk to your kids about Ranger Danger - before someone else does.

 

My mommy said everyone is special.
Plus, special conditions can also be the majority. There's nothing that conflicts there. You drive on dusty roads, can't argue that lol. The manual is written such that I am right.

Actually changed my oil today at 2500 miles. Pic below. Doesn't look fresh to me, glad it's out. (I also drive on dusty roads, like everyone else ;p)

Actually, it really is because new oil is better. The interval has little to do with the contaminates (or at least a lot less than your insinuating).
Synthetic oil loses (shear) viscosity at a lower rate than old oils. Newer oils have better additives to deal with the bases and acids from said combustion contaminates. New oils have better film strength (I think) so less wear takes place and they don't need to have shittons of stuff like ZDDP anymore.

I honestly think 10k intervals are fine. I think 5k is better but not enough to get my panties in a twist.
I only did it at 2500 because I had to change my diff fluid anyway, and I got a big trip coming up, so why not. Added bonus, get the break in fluids out.

Plus, now I have a fumoto valve in, easy peasy to just do changes every 5k, filter at 10k. My current commute is 2 miles, so I fall under the severe without using my dusty cop out.

 

Just tell them us tow and they will do it at 5000 miles. The owners manual in my 2017 said something to the affect that if you tow with it then change oil at 5000 miles. While under our free oil change first two years they never argured about doing it every 5000 miles

 

Coleman haha... Y2K called and they want their cooler back. 3rd gens use Yeti.

 

Found the yuppie!

 

I drive a 2nd Gen with the 2.7L; The owner’s manual recommends semi-synthetic every 5K miles. I run Mobil 1 full synthetic and change it every 7,500 miles; My truck has over 107K miles and I’ve been running full synthetic since 80K; No problems whatsoever!

 

I’m 2nd Gen and I use a Yeti (cup that is)!

 

I'm trying to keep my whole truck period correct. Hardest part is finding vintage Krylon to touch up with.

 

No you didn’t. Keep looking, he’s here somewhere.

 

I donno bruh, your yeti says otherwise......jus sayin

 

Yeti is yesterdays news, for 50 year old college football fanatics and people who leave their fishing poles in the truck year round.

Real mall crawlers buy a Rovr:

 

I'll take 5

 

There is no fooling you. You’ve found the yuppie. Now what?

 

Shit, I donno, never found one before....

 

Still didn’t. Lol. Here’s my cooler
