Default Maintenance schedule question....

Just to confirm, the manual is saying oil changes/maintenance every 12 000 km.

Is this correct or am I missing something???

Thanks in advance.

I'll even refrain from sarcasm.

I think you can go forever if you use royal purple oil and the royal purple filter.

No, no, no!

Forever if you use baby seal or whale oil.

I haul 2 x full-size oil drums in the bed full time. Got those hooked up to a slow-feed pump to the engine, the waste oil just drips out of a valve I installed in the sump onto the highway as I go... I figure I should get multi-100,000 Kms before I need to change drums. Now all I need to do is rig up the robo-vac in the garage to perform filter changes every 3 days...
