I think I would go 5,500K miles max with maybe a new filter
at 3K, winter. Summertime, I wouldn't go over 4500 miles max.
Its like I start to feel sympathy pains or somthing. :o)

So even if synthetic oils does not break down it will still get dirty and cause a performance decrease over time if not changed in proper intervals. I do not agree with the 3-4K mile chart but I would not go much farther that 8k between. The oil filter is not enough to catch all dirt. Do not be cheap on your Dak.
