[QUOTE="crawlin85cj, post: 561757, member: 2643"] Oil light in my 2015 Dodge came on at 15k the first time and 15k the 2nd time. It looked like used oil, not burnt or overly dirty. That's the longest I've ever had a truck go before the change oil light came on, 4K-5K more than the 2014 Dodge I had previously. Maybe not the best idea but the manual and dealer both said roll it until it comes on. Ironically, the change fuel filter light comes on shortly after the change oil light. Double whammy Just to add a little bit of info...most medium sized industrial diesels (40-750hp) are rated to run between 1400 and 2100ish rpm, same as your typical diesel truck rolling down the road. Those engines typically have 500 hour oil changes, some even roll to 750 and I have seen the rare 1000. The commonly used conversion is 40mph average which equates to 375 hours to drive 15k miles. My truck has 31216 miles and 786 engine run hours. That's 39.6 mph average, right on the common conversion. If I'm doing it wrong, I'm doing it WAY wrong on the 400+ diesel engines in our rental fleet. I'm fairly certain most of the thousands of engines we have built and sold to customers are being treated worse. 2012 Jim's Garage YJ 2013 Wide Open Design WFO Next one is in the oven! [/QUOTE]
