How often do you Change oil
Hey, I am wondering how often do you change your oil in your 4 cylinder ranger?
After how many miles?

once every 1 year or so. Maybe longer. I rarely drive my truck....about 3000miles a year.
The reason automobile manufacturers say to change every 5000miles or so, is because every time you change your oil, it introduces 'harmful vapors into the air'
anyways, change it 3000miles 3months if on regular oil, or whenever the synthetic tells you to.

On my '90 I would do it every 3k to 5k. Until it started burning so much oil, then I'd just add more every so often. Poor truck.

I might need to change mine then. Because i changed it at 103k now i am at 107k. So i am going to change it soon. I think i might be able to get another 1000 miles off of it though.

What year is your Gran P.? I had a 76, kept it 13yrs. I change mine various times, from 3,000 - 10,000 and never had a motor go out or burnt oil.Changing oil is not absolutely necessary at 3,000. I've done all of my cars this way and kept all from 7 - 13yrs. I have a 98 Mitsu Eclipse turbo in the garage now that I bought in 97 and still the motor is as smooth & powerfull as day 1.
