The manual for my new '03 Explorer says to change the oil every 5000 miles. I may not put much more than 10,000 miles on it in a single year. My daily commute is 8 miles round trip; about 30 miles "around town" on the weekends, and about six (6) 550 mile round trip travels a year. Very little of this is stop-and-go traffic.
Should I still change it every 5000 miles regardless of duration of time?
Thanks,
Greg H.
