I sure hope you are not using the same filter on there for 10,000 miles. 
If you are... you might soon be in the same boat as another member on this board with your engine ending up as a boat anchor. |
That's why I asked about the filter. Frenchie's horror story is something I wouldn't want to go through.
I'm old school and wouldn't do 10k but I do understand certain synthetics can handle a 12mos/10k interval, it's just not for me. If you're bent on doing a long interval, IMHO, you need a fresh filter half way through or a substantially larger filter (which can be tricky).
