The company recommends changing the oil filter every 3,000 to 4,000 miles and changing the oil every 12,000. Toping off the oil every time you change the filter.
I did oil analysis on my truck before the nitrous using thr SAE 5w30 and after the nitrous using the XPR 5w30 and that is how I came up with the 5,000 mile oil filter and 10,000mile oil change interval.
If you are hard on your truck and don't want to pay the cost for XPR then change the oil at 9,000 miles with filter changes every 3,000.

Well call me lazy. On stock vehicles I change the oil and filter at 10k and on moded one's I change it between 5-10k depending on how it looks and how hard i've been on it.
