An answer
I started doing it by the computer and didn't like what I saw. Oil was breaking down after so many miles. I went back to doing it every 3000 miles or every 4 months. This is good anyway,because it kind of gives you an excuse to look at other things as well, like tire pressure, your fluid levels.
A BIG thing you should keep an eye on. The neg battery cable in the truck corrodes because it is copper. I recommend you clean it when you change the oil, or have your mechanic do it. The battery is back there next to the spare tire if you have a 2009. Preventative maintenance.

What oil filter do you guys recommend? I use FRAM right now, but I've had a lot of people tell me they don't like FRAM.
