ok.. I have dropped my 98 dodge ram down to limited use as a farm truck. probably gets a couple trips a week.. way less than 6000m a year.
I had been doing 3000m oil changes using palin walmart oil the last few years, as the use of this truck has declined.
Looking at the cost of doing 2 changes a year on the plain walmart 10w30 vs using the walmart syn oil. It will actually be cheaper for one oil change on the syn oil per year than 2 changes for the dino oil... milage should be within the extended drain interval very easilly as it will be 6000m or less.
opinions?
