2005 5.9L cummins oil change
hey guys is it true that I only have to change the oil in this engine every 15,000 miles? http://www.schwab-kolb.com/dodge/en/dodge009.htm Also anyone have a link on where I can find how to change the oil on this guy myself? I'm giong out to the farm tomorrow and this will be my first time to do it myself. I've always just had someone at the Co-op do it for me.
Thanks

The book for the '06 calls for 15k for oil for light service and 7,500 for severe. Personally, I've been splitting the difference and doing every 10k. 52k on the clock and going strong.
From others I've talked to, I think these milages were updated in '06. I understand the earlier models called for more frequent changes.

The hr meter is a great tool for this. 250 Hr intevals is what is used in heavy equipment. This is what we use for our service trucks also as they do alot of PTO time. So if you average 30 MPH (normal mix) its 7500 miles. More highway miles and you can go longer on your mileage. Works for me anyway....
