My pickup is the only thing I've got which thinks it's smart enough to tell me when it wants its oil changed. And that's fine with me. Being a farm vehicle, it gets a lot of idling and poking around. I just serviced it at 5500 miles, and 270 hours. That averages about 20 MPH.

The hardest working engine on this farm(tractor) has a 250 hour oil change interval. I think that's a bit much.
