I have an '03 4.0L SOHC with 160k miles. Last oil change I decided to try the high mileage oil (Valvoline). Is there any reason I can't go back to a normal oil? I read online somewhere that once you start using a high mileage oil you're stuck using it forever.
I wasn't having any specific problems that led to that choice. Just the high miles.
Also, maybe it's just a good idea to use the high mileage oil? I want as many miles as possible out of this truck.
As for how often, I drive very little (about 2.5k miles/year). So using mileage doesn't work very well. I try to do it every 6 months. Often enough?
