I appreciate all the feedback. My truck is a work truck model by the way. I use full synthetic Mobil with a good Mobil oil filter so I think I will start changing every 7500 miles, but I will be sure to check the color and quality of the oil to ensure the oil is adequate up to 7500 miles. I looked in my owners manual and all it says is wait until your OLM tells you to change the oil. It does not specify the mileage for every oil change.

I recently became acknowledged about the myth of the 3,000 mile oil change on newer vehicles with advanced oil. I own a 2006 silverado 2500 v8 6L WT and I change my oil every 5k miles with Mobil synthetic 5w-30. I cannot seem to find the exact information within my car manual or my Haynes/Chilton manual for the recommended interval between oil changes. Is there anywhere I can look up how often I can change my oil with the specific engine of within my truck? I have heard some oils can go 10k+ miles on some vehicles. I'd love to do less oil changes, but don't want to endanger my engine since oil changes are so quick though I'd love to save money too! Where can I find this exact information or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
