i have a 21 ford ranger. 2.3l ecoboost turbo. my miles vary but it falls between 4k - 7k per year. i seem to be doing a slight bit more miles with my truck than with previous vehicles. however i rarely surpass 5k.
are yearly oil changes a bad thing? its the time vs. miles that im unclear about. for a yearly oil change i would be using M1 EP 5w30 with a fram ultra synthetic filter. both oil and filter rated for 20k miles. i dont quite buy into the 20k miles thing but its what it says.
opinions are welcomed and does anyone else do the yearly changes? would any quality brand synthetic oil be ok to use for yearly oil changes or does it need to be the extended type? seems like a waste to change every six months with so few miles.
