I just bought a new chevy truck with the 5.3L v8. I am looking for info from this very knowledable group about oil change interval. Which of the following scenario's would be better and why?
1. change oil and filter every 5000 miles with Mobil1 synthetic?
or
2. change oil and filter every 3000 miles with a good dino, such as havoline?
I will be using supertech oil filters. And here's the important part. I travel to work only 3 miles one way, so I will be doing many short trips.
I would appreciate any replies. any opinions and facts are welcome.
I am new to this forum and I am amazed with the wealth of knowledge that is available here. Thank you all very much.
Cheers!
