im up to 225,000 on mine and by 2000 miles after a oil change my oil gets pretty dark looking. if i let it go till 3500, the lifters will start to tick upon start up after over night.
so im just using what ever's on sale, and changing the oil every 3000 miles.

I used to do that, buy whatever is on sale at my local autozone, but what I never liked is the fact that they offer good brand oil with a not-so-good brand filter, always! or a good filter with a crappy oil. So I started to buy Quacker state and acdelco everytime, from walmart, its around 20 bucks total. Not a big difference from those oil/filter special they have at autozoneOriginally Posted by scottydoggs

After 200 miles blackstone still says my 6k interval is fine, even though it gets dark as night it's just a little carbon.

Funny you mention that... My lifters quit ticking after i changed the oil last week. I generally go by the DIC, or 5000 miles, whichever is sooner. When I changed it last, I had gone about 5200 miles and had 56% life left according to the DIC. I lose a quart every 3500-4000 miles and I do check it regularly and keep it full.
I guess I should start changing it sooner. And im also at just about 225k.
