On both vehicles we run synthetic oil and go by the vehicles computer. When it says to change oil, we do it. That is what the dealer recommended.

Now that we're retired and her Lexus sits for six months in Indiana, I'll probably change it once a year.
So you determined vehicle stop and go driving differently for over road every day driving miles are racked up quickly and over road driving (except towing) lot easier on engine and transmission. Which exactly what recommended and this post about.

bad about vehicle setting the oil additive molecules will eventually separate which usually takes years. Why the recommend don’t use oil (any OIL) over 5 years old.
