Changed my oil a couple weeks ago and switched back to T-6 from T5 semi (1 oil change).

A friend of mine went 30,000 miles on a new car motor without an oil change and ruined his motor. Chrysler said it was on him unless he could prove he had changed it regularly. He couldn't and he ate the cost of a new motor.
