oil change poll
Re:oil change poll
7500 per the book on light service and the fuel filter every other oil change. I tried adding Marvel Mystery oil to fuel this weekend and am noticing that the fuel mileage has increased by 1.5 mpg. Guess it helps out the winter blend fuel.

I'm rather embarrassed to say I'm on the same schedule as Dieseldude4x4.

Of course, that's with synthetic and sampling also.

Re:oil change poll
Just changed @ 4000. I didn't do it because I needed to, just wanted to get the factory oil out in case their was some foriegn material from break-in. (yeah yeah, I know, I have another 300,000 til broke in!) ;D -Steve
Re:oil change poll
Every 4000? Unless you're towing all the time, I can't see it.
You're just making the oil companies richer than they were twenty years ago.
When I'm unladen, it's every 7500 miles. Loaded up for a weekend of r&r and then back to unladen for the rest of the month, maybe then at 6000 miles.
Fleetguard or MOPAR filters. Rotella T or Delo.
Dino oil doesn't go bad, so there's no reason to change it earlier than necessary. I follow the Cummins recommendations.

Re:oil change poll
I'm changing mine this week after 6 months/4K. I'm taking a sample to see if I can safely run longer. Lots of putting around in traffic on my 12 mile commute, I'm worried the truck doesn't run long enough to get really warmed up.
Re:oil change poll
Every 3-4K miles, what's wrong with that??? I change ALL my gassers at 3K miles, and the dodge is due for a tranny change after the trip to the coast to watch the APBA races in Gulf Shores this past week end. it was a BLAST
Re:oil change poll
Every 12000 and oil sample it. Always comes back fine. Betcha mine lasts as long as you short changers does. 27k on it 9 months. My powerstrokes got oil change every 10k because of the oil fired injectors. Got almost 300k outa them. Fuel filters whenever they start running bad. Air filters couple times in the life of the truck.
Re:oil change poll
You mean we're supposed to change the oil in these engines?
;D ;D ;D
Sorry couldn't resist.
I usually go 5k
fuel filter every 10k
wash and re-oil K+N air filter every 20k
