   Thanks all, my next question would be if you change your own oil how would   
   they know if you changed it at 3, 4, 5, or 6k, except for the lousy gas   
   mileage (11-12 mpg city) the truck runs great and needs no other service. Do   
   you technically have to take the truck in to be cover by warranty?   
      
   Thanks.
