Q: tom chapter 7 page 326 quote road conditions as well as your kind of driving affect the interval at which your oil should be changed. check the following to determine if any apply to you . day or night temperatures are below 32 degrees . stop and go driving . extensive engine idling . driving in dusty conditions . short trips of less than 10 miles . more than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather above 90 degrees . trailer towing . taxi police or delivery service commercial service . off road or desert operation if any of the above conditions apply to you then change your oil at every interval shown in schedule b of the maintenance scheduled section of this manual. chapter 8 maintenance schedules page 385 every 3750 miles. steve steve what owners manual are you reading from that sounds like an o/m for a gasser. mike be careful here. dodge qualifies the 7500 mile change. if for instance you take many small trips in

chapter 8 maintenance schedules page 385 every 3750 miles. do you see the little cross and diamond symbols the diamond symbol which appears every 7500 miles denotes tier 1 epa 250hp or 305hp engines only the cross symbol which appears every 3750 miles denotes california lev 235hp engines only so unless you have a 235hp engine you would fall under the 7500 mile interval. the 3750 interval has absolutely nothing to do with maintaining the engine and everything to do with cas emissions laws. oh yeah i forgot about the left coast requirements. kinda confusing if you ask me... ill bet thats what steve is talking about. mike .
