Truth is, I DON'T honestly know....Do you rely on your dipstick? Do you count quarts (drain/fill) when you change the oil? How about your oil gauge when running? How can we be sure? What's your trick?Here's my oil gauge, driving about 2,500 rpm, 40 mph:[ATTACH=full]485171[/ATTACH]This is only my second oil change at 139k miles, bought my screw with 132k mi two years ago. When I bought it the oil was very clean looking, but I changed it anyways just to be sure. At 139k the oil still looked clean on the stick. Changed it again anyways. This last change I used that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum natural gas synthetic oil (10w-30) in 5 qt jugs, and it's so dang clear you can hardly see it on your dipstick. Not to mention our dipsticks are all twisted up like a Cheeto Spiral cheese chip, so much so you wipe it clean, put it all the way in, pull it out, and there's oil all up and down the stick, I can't tell if it's 3 quarts over or a few low!! I think I put in about 8 qts this change, new oil filter too.Love this truck but it's kinda annoying me for sure....</blockquote>
