Cal,
Actually, I have several reasons.
First, I plan on putting at least 200,000 miles on this truck. Then I will
give it to my Grandson.
Second, frequent oil changes is the cheapest insurance to provide a
long running, trouble free engine.
Third, I have access to a service center every Sunday morning for 4 hour
to do anything I want.
Fourth, I just like a clean engine, inside and out.
Don't get me wrong, I am not recommending that everybody change oil as
often as I do. It's just a "thing" with me. Doesn't cost me much.
Actually, I don't change it by mileage. I change it to the number of
cold starts. When the oil begins to change color I change it. It works out
to about 1,600 to 1,800 miles depending on the weather.
The engine should give me a whole lot of trouble free miles. I tend to go
overboard with other engine maintenance items also.
I'm a great believer in Preventative Maintenance. Fix it before it's broke.
