Oil Changes . . . How often?
I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi and I use it mostly for towing my 2005 25 ft. Komfort trailer. There's only 6,000 miles on the truck and about 60 to 65 percent of that is towing miles. ...

I don't think I know a single person who has worn out their engine prior to wanting a new truck. If you think you have to change oil every 5000 miles I sure would't waste money on synthetic.
There is no commonly available dino 5w-40, or 0w-40.
What do we use if we need 0w or 5w cold?
The problem is not just wear, but cold enough, dino just will not pour or start without supplemental heating.
Synth 0w or 5w extend the range considerably.
If you need the light weight oil put in synthetic but dumping synthetic at 5000 miles is like replacing your tires when there is still 3/4 of the tread left on them.
