Change the oil on your schedule.
You know what your doing with your rig. And how long you want it to last.

Ignore the oil life monitor.? on the last sentence
Thanks for the heads up I have been changing around 4K so 1k less than what I am use to.The oil change indicator does NOT indicate how much oil has been consumed OR measure the quality of the oil in any manner. The computer keeps track of driving conditions and reduces the oil life as miles/revolutions increase since it was reset. Once it is reset it starts the countdown all over again regardless of if the oil was actually changed or not. You have used an estimated 11% of oil life in 700 miles, that equates to 6363 miles which is more miles that I let accumulate in any vehicle even with synthetic oil.
Looks like Ill be doing mine around 4k. better to be safe than sorry with these big engines.For synthetic oil on other vehicles (some with bigger engines), my standard is 7,000 miles.
Don’t know….I was responding to a mention of consuming in this thread.Is the consuming description mentioned in the owner's manual? Do you know what page it was on so I can look. So far with the mileage I drive a day it's been right at or slightly past 6 months.
