6.7 diesel oil change

Post  John Myrick on January 15th 2012, 12:06 pm

At what mileage should the oil get changed for the 1st time ?
Or just use the indicator in the truck ?
Figured the 1st time should be sooner than specified normal intervals.

Thanks,
John

No Quick lubes for me. I'll use the dealer in order to try and retain the warranty.

Don't really trust either one actually Evil or Very Mad
