I was shocked. Truck only has 61k on it and it's hard the oil changed 24 times with Mobil 1 synthetic. Older guy that owns it bought it new.


Any thoughts?
Sounds like too much synthetic too often to me. Imagine washing your hair 5x a day for 2 months. Detergent at too high a level is always bad.

Edit: And I am literally just saying what comes to mind. Thats a lot of oil changes at short interval for no reason for an LS motor designed to go 8,000+ without an oil change under normal conditions.
