It has been a common thread on here. The oil change indicator is NOT reliable. I change mine every 5,000 miles. I keep track in a log book. I only reset the oil change light when it goes off and log it also.

X2 I use mobil 1 change every 5 or 6k depending on how much I trailer(4,000lbs) indicator says 55% left ?
I also drove a 5,000 mile trip towing and got around 12mpg. up to 1 mpg better on flat ground.
I also got a wind deflector and I get a extra 1.5 mpg now

dlinden did you have a problem with premature downshifting to 2nd up long steep hills ,some hills I had to slow down to 50mph.
At 65 70mph it would do crazy downshifts reving at 5,400rpm's .
If I could hold 70+ it wont drop to second.
