I need to decide on oil change interval. The manual says 10,000. No way I can do that. I start getting nervous about 3500 miles. Just can't get over it. I have been doing every 4500 or so with the 05. The oil would be changing colors by that time. I may settle on 5,000 for this one, or I may stay with the 4,500.
With all the sand in the air where I have to go, does not make me feel better at all. I just can't do that to an engine.

The oil we use was specifically made for our engines at the request of LR. Castrol did not make the oil until we asked them to make it and meet our demands.
Its something like 8 bucks a quart too, its good stuff. When we do the services at 10-15k miles the oil is dark but its not black at all. Im actually gonna upload a video later on tonight showcasing our oil recovery machine.

My 96 had a small oil leak when I first got it and by 2000 miles it would be down to the Add mark so instead of just adding a quart to it for 1000 miles I'd change the oil. I've stuck with the 2000 mile oil change ever since then. It's just easier to remember when it needs changed again.
The oil that comes out of the truck looks about the same as what I'm putting into it. So I just take the oil out of the engine, put it back in the bottles and take it back to the store and exchange it.
