out m1 afe 0w30
In m1 5w20 Bosch d+ filter
old oil 5 months in service and approx 4k on it(4+short trips a day, plus 4 miles a day down gravel roads.
Plan on going 4k or so on current fill, until i hit my jan truck deicing. Will replace with 0w20 for the remainder of the winter(4 months plus) and push out til 5500 or so maybe more. truck sees about 30 miles a day 5 days a week. reason for early change is the truck has never had a pvc replacemet until 1k ago and within 2k the oil was pitch black.

Out: 5W-30 Maxlife Blend.
In: 5W-30 Havoline DS.
5-6K mile OCI's. This one went 6400(about 3.5 months)... Motorcraft filter as always.
