Tldr: The title lol.

I have a 99 Chevy s10 2.2, and it has been running synthetic blend oils (5w-30). It is at 112k miles. And since I am doing my own oil changes, I noticed that blends and full are damn near the same price.

I have been doing 5k intervals with blend, should I go to a 7.5k interval with a full? My truck has a highway maintance schedule in the manual that says it could do 7.5k going by highway miles. I drive mostly highway (speed limit near me goes to 45 at the lowest).

    You can absolutely do longer intervals with full synthetic over blends. I’m pretty certain synthetic blends only need to be 5% synthetic to market themselves as blends

    Are you doing 5k kms per oil change or miles? I would make the switch and do longer intervals, be sure to keep an eye on your oil level if you do indeed go for longer intervals
