My Chevy Work truck uses 4.5 quarts of 5w-30 oil. (not synthetic oil)

I change this every 8000 miles which is when the computer usually says to change it.

Then I reset the oil-change device and reset the trip odometer to see how many miles it takes to tell me to change it again.

If you drive your car like you stole it, then you probably should change the oil every 3000. If you drive it like you are 90 years old, you can go 8000 miles.
