It definitely depends on the vehicle. My diesel truck has a recommended oil
change interval of 15,000 miles. Many people have told me that I am crazy doing
oil changes at such a long intervals. I haven't had any issues yet and the
engine has just crossed the 200,000 mile mark. The truck is a 2007 Dodge Ram
2500 with a Cummins engine.

For my gas powered truck, I do oil changes at around 6000 miles.

I never listen to the oil change service shops, though. They still recommend
3000 mile oil changes which is far too frequent with modern cars. Thats just
wasted money and oil.
