when you break in any motor -tran -rear -4x4 case there is metel shaving -metal dust.it from gear matting up .in the older car they told you at 500 mile to change it .my lawn mower said at 5 hour first then 50 there after.it couldnt hurt .you have a 35-50 thousand dollar truck ,for 20-25 of peace of mind ????i look in my book and it doent said anything(that i could find)about not changing it .i been using mobile 1 and mobil 1 filter for years and changing it every 5000 mile .so normaly that about 150-200 a year for peace of mind .i waste more then that on coffee a year !!!!
