Service is every 7500 miles or six months. So now I'm at the 1500 mile/12 month service with 9000 miles on the truck.
?!?!?! :h
When I change my oil it shows 15,000 interval!!
I change my oil every 6 months for $75 or less. I use Rotella T6 (5W40) from November to April and switch to Rotella T5 (15W40) for the warm months. Since you're in NC, you can probably safely go 15W40 all year and just change the oil every 6 months. I can do T5 plus a filter for $60.
Fuel filters, so far as I've found, are only available as OEM. On my last fuel filter change I bought a Packaged set on Amazon for about $100. These took less than 30 minutes to replace.
So, to change fuel filters and oil every 6 months it costs about $160. That's a pretty far departure from the $300+ the dealership quoted you for one service.
Oh....and as far as I know, fuel filters are mileage based only. Just watch your indicator in your dash and change them when it tells you.
