How often do you change your oil?

[mwhals]

I just changed my oil for the first time at 3750 miles. Will do it again at 7500 miles.

 

[RankRam]

Every 5k for me, 10k for the fuel filter.

 

[Cattletrkr]

I voted for "we're supposed to change the what???" :-laf



10k.

 

[Nate]

I dump the oil every 10k, though I change the Frantz filter every 2500miles, main filter at 5000. So by the time I hit 10000, I have replaced 1/3 of the original oil from topping off.

On all my other trucks I changed every 15K with Amsoil oil and bypass filters.



The 06 is a little new, but once the bypass gets installed I'll be doing the same thing with it. Its had synthetic in t since about 4K. One of these days I'll get around to installing the bypass filter . . . . . .

November and April. Fuel in summer

 

[RobertP]

every 15,k here also. i do both the by-pass and the engine filters.

Every 1500 on the puller (in season)... Every 6500 on the 96.

 

[JVolkmann]

I change the oil every 15K and the oil filter every 7500K. Been doing this since the truck had 10k. I have 90K on it now and the oil samples come back fine.

Was 5k on Rotella before adding the Amsoil bypass, now I'm stretching everything to 10k (oil, main filter, bypass filter).



I was changing the fuel filter every 10k as well, but since I got the FASS, I am basing the change off pressure and so far, I have almost 40k on this filter with no drop in pressure. Probably change that filter every 10k.

Every 5k. Makes it easy to remember. Last at 20k next at 25k.

 

[05mxdiesel]

Was changing at 5k mark for a while, but since the frantz has been installed I will be changing at 15k with rotella dino juice. A new roll of tp at 2500 and a new full flow at 7500. Went 14k on amsoil before the frantz and had good results with just a full flow filter.

 

[JCleary]

Every 5k with Delo 400. Just because it's easy to remember. I also do the axles, trans and x-fer case every 15k with Amsoil.

 

[Highfinance97]

every 3K. in the 97



I dont like fuel in my oil all that much :-laf

3K-5K in the 93 and the 99

Every 15k in the '06 with Amsoil and Donaldson filters, every 5k with Rotella in the '03 with Fleetgaurd filters, every 10k on fuel filters. 50k intervals on diffs and t-cases with Amsoil. 30k interval on auto trannys with dino and approved Mopar additive.

 

[Cattletrkr]

I change the ... oil filter every 7500K.

 

[steved]

That's one way to cut the cost of an oil change... :-laf

Oil and a Stratopore filter at 5000 miles. Seven micron fuel filter at 10,000 miles. This is on a 2004. 5. The fuel schedule will change when I upgrade to a GDP kit with a Walbro pump and filter system.

 

[amsoilman]

GO ahead and Cringe! I have not changed my oil since the truck had 8,500 miles! It now has 62,000. I use the Amsoil 15W-40 HDD & Marine, by-pass filtration and a Donaldson "Full-Flow" filter along with oil analysis each 10K. I have changed both filters twice in that length of time, and the oil analysis is still showing the oil to be in great shape. Viscosity is still testing like a new oil, and soot/solids is 0. 20%wt.



Why dump it if it is still as good as new stuff?

Every 3,000, I do a lot of in town driving so I feel this helps also keeps down on all the added fuel I got runnin through her
