V-10
I am thinking now that the V-10 is my best option for my next 4 year lease then getting into the new 6.7L in 2014. I have been diesel for the last 3 trucks and I know the maintenance costs, but how about the V-10 ? Keep in mind this will be a new truck, and I only put on 15K a year, how many miles between oil changes ? How about the mileage loaded and unloaded ? My reason for going gas is my 2004 6.0L spent so much time in the shop getting warranty work done and me in a rental car, I think the 6.4L might be to much bother as well while waiting for the 6.7L

5000 between oil changes
Mileage will vary a lot depending on what you're doing (highway, towing, rural roads, in town) and the configuration of the truck (4x2, 4x4, CC, etc.). I'd expect between 9 - 15mpg depending.

Today's SM rated conventional oil will go 5k easy. You can take the grp III so called sythetics out to 7-8k miles and the higher end grp IV sythetics out to 10k plus miles.
