I just picked up my new 2015 Laramie 3500 Saturday. I'm still going over a ton of stuff to learn about this truck but I did read where with the Cummins 6.7 the oil change interval could be as high as 15,000 miles. I don't think I'm going to be going that high between oil changes on MY truck. On the '06 we just traded off I usually changed the oil and filter around 6,000 miles and every fall I changed the fuel filter. Air filter every other year.
Get the diesel you'll love it. Plenty of power and torque when needed.

Just thought I would mention that I had the oil changed on mine at about 3,200 mile mark.
No way I am gonna run 15,000 miles on a new engine with factory oil in it.
Plus, now at least for sure I know what is in the engine. Good grief. Some claim it came with 5W/40 Rotella, others 5W/40 Valvoline. Others 15W/40 Rotella. On and on.
I had it filled with the 15W/40 Rotella.
Same here, I will dump factory fill around 3K and fill with AMZ/OIL 15-40 100% Synthetic. After that I will change when the light comes on. I will also do an oil analysis at that time including TBN.
