How often do you cange oil if little us
I am looking at getting a truck and TC. The truck will not be a DD. Some months it will barely be used. Oil changes?

Get a good quality synthetic and change it once a year. The good synthetic is better at sitting longer, and flowing on those infrequent starts.
I personally like Amsoil and it's easier to do 1 change a year than 2.
If you don't want to run synthetic 6 months is the most I would let it sit in the crankcase with infrequent use, the oil will start to break down and sitting in an oil pan isn't as easy as sitting in a new jug.
I figured you would know better :-)
Oil with combustion deposits in it will break down even if you aren't driving. I would go a year at most, which is what I normally do.

I do it by mileage and not time - so if it takes me 2 years to get to the interval then that's when its changed. Oil last for many years in storage or just sitting in your engine. I suspect the yearly thing is just a marketing thing to make money.
