Here is my problem..... (he, he)...
As you all know, I change my Rotella-Syn oil and filter every 5,000 miles without fail. However, I am going a trip with the family from KC to San Diego on SUnday for 1 week and midway back home I will be due for an oil change!!!
It's too soon to change prior to leaving for my trip and I will be 800 miles over (according to Yahoo maps mileage calculation) when I get back home.
What is a guy to do... my truck has never been mistreated like this before... it will probably be pissed at me and throw an injector at me to get even!!!
Options I have...
1) Change oil and filter in the middle of I-70 on my way back home (wonder if highway patrol will help)?
2) Do nothing and change oil after getting back home?
3) Hug my truck and tell her I am sorry I let her go with dirty oil for an extra 800 miles?
Wow... I have never gone past 5,000 miles... this will be a first for me and my truck!!!!!!
Good thing I use Rotella-Syn 5W-40 and change well below the manufacture's mileage intervals.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
p.s. - It is also my Birthday on Christmas day... if you would like to get me anything, a couple gallons of Rotella-Syn 5W-40 (CJ4) would be great as I will need 4 gallons upon getting back home.
