I just saw this but my brothers crown vic came from a police dept here in FL that was experimenting with these "million mile" filters, they attached to some oil line up under the hood, well his started leaking and spraying oil all over the underside of the hood so we looked into what the hell it was and found out about the test. Kinda makes you wonder if they were changing the oil on that thing at all.

Actually I'm in the same boat. I change my oil once a year as I don't get many miles on Red and it sit half the year. I change the oil at the end of my season, just before I lay her up for the winter.

That because the more you drive your truck, the easier it is on the oil....short, light trips that induce constant heat cycles are what breaks oils down...

There's no short trips for me as the store is 20 miles away. The mail box is 1/4 mile away, but I walk that. There maybe a couple days at a time I don't go anywhere. Life is pretty slow in the sticks.

It's just a old gravel track. The good thing about driving distant is that the exhaust gets dried out and the drivetrain gets up to temp. To go around the block is 10.5 miles. I had a Flowmaster that lasted 7 years and was still in good shape when I pulled it.
