I've read some conflicting things about when to change the oil in this engine. Some have said 5,000 miles, some have said 10,000 miles. My last car was a modified turbo car, so I had to change that one out every 3500 miles or so. What is your opinion on when I should change the oil on this truck?
I was also wondering how the oil life indicator determines the percentage of the oil life. Is it actually measuring something, or is it just estimating based on driving? I was kind of surprised when I looked at it today and it said the oil life is at 11%, there is only 4,000 miles on the truck, so if it is supposed to be able to go 10k between changes as some people have said, it wouldn't really make sense.
