> Bob, I normally change coach oil once every year. The truck get's a little more use and I change it twice depending on use. Iam also using the amsoil in my 04 Honda pilot, I use the k & N filter's in the dodge truck and pilot. Jeff answered your concern about the drain time. It's sure nice being on the road and not to worry about changing oil...Bob 93pt40 Jackson,Wy.

Thanks, Jeff,
I think I will be switching to synthetic in the engine in 8k miles. Thanks for your input.
