How many miles on synthetic oil in my pickup?

[shortround]

How many miles do people generally go between oil changes with synthetic oil? With conventional oil I've been going 5000 km (approx. 3000 miles). This is in my 08 Chev 1/2 ton.

Think with your dipstick, Jimmy!

Usually around 8,000 - 10,000 km.

guys I know go 15000 km before changing oil with only a filter change in between time

doesn't your chevy have an oil life monitor? With my old powersrtoke and synthetic I would go 10-15k but it carried 18L of oil and had a filter on it bigger than most on my tractors. I wouldn't go more than 8K with a gas job especialy those chevys as they have a smaller oil filter than my quad. When I bough my new F-150 they recomended every 8k with standard oil but once again it's a way larger filter. If you really want to know send a sample of your used oil away to get it analyzed, I don't think it's that expensive.
