Not to throw a monkey wrench into this, but what about low mileage between oil changes?
I change my oil at around 1500 miles (dino oil) or just about 6 months so that I do not get sludge buildup. I am lucky enough to live about a mile from work, and I do alot of stop and go city driving. My truck is a year and a half old already and I only have 7500 miles on it.
My question is, would it be worth it (cost) to switch to synthetic, would the synthetic build up any sludge if I waited the full mileage, or what time period between changes?
