btfarm 03-03-2005, 01:01 PM I currently have 500 miles on my '05 and in 2 weeks will be headed to CoSprings from NC illinois. Before I leave I'll have about 1500 miles. Should I change the factory oil ahead of the trip or wait to 5000? I plan on going to 15w40 Rotella. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/help2.gif partsguy662 03-03-2005, 01:17 PM Personally, I dropped the factory oil at 1000 and again 3000...Some guys change a couple times before 1000 miles are on the clock.... In your case, I would consider changing before you leave and again when you return from your trip.. deadfurrow 03-03-2005, 02:58 PM Personally, I dropped the factory oil at 1000 and again 3000...Some guys change a couple times before 1000 miles are on the clock....

If it were me I would change it prior to your trip. aka108 03-04-2005, 12:10 PM Change before you go and then upon return. btfarm 03-04-2005, 01:09 PM I'll change before and after as suggested:) !!! | ||
