How many miles do you go between oil changes?

Last year I only put about 4000mi on my truck, and it was all easy trailering, or sometimes short mostly stop and go distances unloaded.
How OFTEN should I change my oil, since I'm not putting on much mileage?

Good post Jockybox.
I used to work for Petro Can. The enginerds and Millwrights swore by our grease and oils and claimed it sole reason for our extended time between maintanence. I used the same oil as you, pcan 5W40 fully synthetic and have had no issues as of yet. Besides, I still get a pretty sweet deal on it. Under 6 bucks a litre.
RU up in Fort Mac? -55C eeeeshh. thats freaking chilly. That'd freeze pee b4 hit'n the snow!
Cheers

Preferably change it right before it's going to be parked for the longest period, most likely for the winter.

The Dodge Service Manual for my 1994 3500 Dully with the 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel uses a 6,000 mile oil and filter change interval and I have kept pretty close to that.
210,000 miles and still strong.

10-15k with Rotella... Always tests fine.
I do run amsoils dual bypass. using their bypass filter and napas full flow normally. Change the Bypass every 50k.
