    Thats why I change my truck every 10k miles. It comes out to be about the same amount of money spent as those who change their oil every 1k miles :anonymous:

    It's not about money for me...it's just commonsense knowing just how good these synthetics today are. 10k, or a year is fine for my use. I can go even go longer if really needed.

    Seems a bit premature. If your worried about it, change the filter and add some oil. I did my first change at 3k and it was still clean(looking).

    I did that, and the rear oil was sparkly. Glad I did it sooner than later.

    Right. ‘Peace of mind’ is fine and all, but the engine doesn’t care .

    You’re tempting fate. I change mine every Sunday because ‘oil is cheaper than a new engine’:)
