I drive my work truck, a 2005 Silverado for work Monday to Friday, sometimes weekends too (lots of overtime lately). I work for a land surveyor, doing construction layout. A lot of local city driving, but lately I've been driving a lot of longer distances, often 80 miles a day.
Oil changes used to be cheap bulk conventional every 3k at 4-6 months, I bought the truck from my employer a couple months ago so I'm responsible for everything on it now.
Now it's full synthetic high mileage (bad valve seals - occasionally smokes on startup in the summer and some oil deposits on the spark plugs), doing one early oil change before I start going by the olm (seems to want an oil change every 4k miles roughly). It uses a qt in 2500 miles.
