How often do you changle your oil, airfilter, and do basic maintenance on your truck? Are you fussy about it such as doing it at the proper time/mileage or just whenever?

pretty much do it on a schedule every 5k miles , may go over on a oil change by 500 miles if on a trip but otherwise regular service done at home. Unless I can't do it

Oil Change every 3500-5000 miles. Depending on how hard it was driven during that amount of time. Actually I'm about 300 miles aways from changing it again. It's usually every 3 months or so. I'm normally the one to do it, sometimes my dad likes to take my truck and change the oil without telling me. But I usually don't like other people working on my truck.

change oil every 7,000 and trans service at 25,000 and clean air filter when its dirty which is only every couple years or so. i also rotate my tires every 5,000 miles.

Hooligan

How come every 7k?

because it doesnt need to be changed any sooner than that. the days of 3,000 mile oil changes is a thing of the past, todays oil breaks down much much slower than the oils from 20-30 years ago. when i was in the Army i used to bring oil samples in to my unit's maintinence section for oil analysis every so often, i found out that changing my oil at 3,000 like i used to was not only a waste of time but also a huge waste of money. i determined through oil analysis that 5,000-7,000 is ideal for the oil i use and type of driving i do.

Sweet, I do 5k. I figure that is pretty safe!

yeah, its a good number to remember too. thats what i do in my F-150, at every 5K mark.

OldCarFart

5K, easy to remember, AMSOIL gets filter change and 1 qt., then drained at 15K intervals, tranny & axle fluids (AMSOIL) at new to me and at 100K intervals. Dino poop lube gets drained every 5K.

Whenever something breaks, lol
