What oil change interval are you using?
I asked this question in the "Oil Change Process" thread.. but I'm thinking a dedicated thread makes more sense.
These motor's aren't our old school normally aspirated motor's. The turbo's and the gas direct injection (GDI) makes oil change intervals less. A buddy of mine has a GDI turbo charged Audi and his mechanic specializes in these motors. On his Audi he changes the oil every 3,000 miles.
My truck has 3,300 miles and the oil has barely even started to change color.
At this point I'm thinking the best plan is that I will rotate the tires and change the oil every 4,000 miles?
What say ye 2019/2020 Ranger owners?
