Default Q for all the FULL SYNTHETIC oil users....
How often do you change your oil in MILES?

Thanks

I change all three fluids every 5k, although I don't think the Formula+ is full syn.

5k give or take a couple hundred. I run Amsoil 20w50. I'd estimate 75% of my miles are highway.

I plan to change mine in the ballpark of 5000 miles each time.

5K normally,but HD website under SYN3 says You can change at 10K or at time of winter storage.I am going to try it ,while watching how dirty oil gets.It it really gets black I will change earlier.3800 miles now and oil looks like it was changed yesterday!

I ran 5K on my 2011 and the engine oil is dirty with the Syn3. On my 2014 I'm also doing 5K for engine and 10K for the others per Manual. I use Mobile 1 and I am happier while saving money.
