[QUOTE="Andy Williams, post: 607149, member: 63637"] Just got back from Vacation and the Trac is at 4000 miles. Time for an oil change. Thinking about changing to synthetic for the first time. I've read that it might help MPG a bit (got 19.6 MPG from KY to FL). Here's my questions: - Will going to Synthetic affect the warranty - Book says change every 5K, do I need to keep that up with Synthetic to keep the warranty? - Thinking about using Mobil 1 for Truck/SUV. Didn't buy it yet, but I think it said good for 15K. Fram filter I can get is good for 7.5K. Everything I've read here says keep the oil topped off and run to the limits given for the oil. Anyone have any other comments to help. PS - Rotating tires every 5K also. Switched to Monroe Sensatracs at 2K and they are GREAT!! afwill [/QUOTE]
