The 3,000 Mile Oil Change 'Myth'

[Sammich]

I typically go 5000 miles. That's just being on the safe side. Rotella is inexpensive and plentiful. I could go farther, but I don't.

yea my bro in law was telling me you could actually go like 20k miles on rotella if u wanted to.

when i went to school..i put 3k miles on my truck every month for two years straight...so yea i know about doing oil changes every month regardless lol..got so good at it that it only took me 10mins to do that chit lol

my dad is currently a trucker and the normal oil change interval is around 25k miles. this is due to having a 5 GALLON oil capacity, extreme duty oils such as rotella, and gigantic extreme duty oil filters. so yes under the correct conditions a 20,000mi+ oil change interval is possible.
