Seriously - not a troll, just wanted information. We've used regular motor oil before this and thought that synthetic would be better and we wouldn't need to change it so often.
Carry on...
My apology.

Both my "newer" vehicles the factory recommended a blended synthetic.
The car they recommended every 5000 miles which is when I change the oil but this is what I prefer to a blended oil.

If I go by the reminder light the truck would get its oil changed every 10,000 miles, I change it every 5000 and it gets the same oil as the car.
I'd rather have clean oil in my engine than old or dirty oil.
No way could I go a full year without an oil change. I just couldn't do it.
