So, apparently, I thought my next oil change was supposed to be at 65,000 miles. Started looking at my records today, it was actually at 60,000 miles. Normally, I change every 5,000 miles, but missed my last one. Geez...

Would it benefit anything to attempt a "flush", by running a gallon or so of oil through before putting the plug back in and adding my normal amount?

I have used nothing but Delo 400 15w40 with Fleetguard Stratopore filter since the truck was new.

 

I would not worry about it, especially since Dodge recommends either 7500 miles or 15,000 miles, depending on how the vehicle is used.

 

I agree. Doesn't matter.

 

Change the oil and don't sweat it, unless you have been driving daily it fine silt like conditions, you shouldn't have a worry in the world

 

Thanks guys for the input. Well, looks like I'll spent this evening with a cold one and some Texas country playing while I take of this!

 

I've always wondered what the hot-shotters do about oil changes. Every 7,500 miles could be twice a month or more for those guys. Add in the diffs, trans, t-case, anti-freeze, etc. at their recommend intervals and that's a lot of down-time.

 

typical question from an aggie. duhhh] haha HOOK EM.

 

Thats what I do for a living and I usually have to change mine every other saturday.

 

I was waitin' on an Aggie joke...
