I don’t drive much, but my engine does idle more than it’s driving.
I drive approximately 3000 miles every six months, but my engine, idle hours, including both idle and driving time, are approximately 220 to 230 total engine hours in that same time frame of six months. I was planning on changing my oil at eight months and around 4000 miles. I use a quality full synthetic oil in my 2023, ram 5.7 hemi. My question is, should I consider doing it sooner strictly due to my somewhat elevated total of engine hours. Also, does anyone know if the factory could possibly void my engine warranty strictly due to engine hours, even though my miles and time are within the requirement??
