I'm used to 10,000 mile oil changes on full synthetic oil in a 2001 VW Jetta turbo-diesel, and 12,500 mile OCI on a 2005 Jeep Libby turbo-diesel on full synthetic, and 13,000 mile on a BMW. The last of these has an oil change sensor which is indeed sensitive to whether I'm towing. All three require full synthetic oil for the turbo, and I bet the OP's RAM would also need it for the same reasons. There is, in fact evidence that changing such oil early INCREASES wear. So do what the mfg says to do. Do NOT stick with the 3-5,000 intervals just because you have done that in the past.

I'm curious, what evidence is there that clean oil increases wear over dirty oil? I can see 15,000 and 30,000 mile oil change intervals if you are running a bypass filter to filter the dirt out. High flow oil filters with internal bypass are not up to the job. In my opinion, with the new oils breakdown is not the problem but suspended micro particles are wearing down the internals of an engine. I will continue with short change intervals on my older Cummins. I figure that if dirty oil is superior to clean oil then Ram would ship their new trucks with dirty oil.

Omfg I've heard it all now! Clean oil causes more wear? Lol. Change your oil too much, blow up the engine!
