EZ big fella... don't blow a head gasket!

In my world 1000 mile oil changes were the norm up until the late 70's. Maybe the poster has an old Pinto for his daily...

Ok, (taking deep breath). This is 2024, oil and filters have come a LONG way since Henry Fords days, and are meant to last for thousands of miles not a few hundred. Even the norm back in the 70s-80s was changed every 3-5 thousand miles and filter every 2nd oil change. Been there, lived that, done that. (Stepping off soap box now)

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends South of the 49th.

WTF kind of engine, turbo, super charged, normally aspirated, fuel injected, carbureted etc etc needs the effen oil and filter changed every 500 miles??? Maybe top fuel and funny cars but this shit is, for lack of an appropriate response, Fuckin rediculose! It’s a little truck people!!! OMG! Let the flaming start!

BTW...I never said anything about a 500 mile oil change...I simply commented that the OP's oil sample showed the oil on his Blackstone report, at 4000 miles, had sheared out of spec. It no longer met the spec for a 30 weight oil.
