I have an Equinox with the 2.4 four cylinder. I change that cars oil every 3500 miles or once a year with dexos rated synthetic. My gasoline truck is a 2003 and I change that oil every 4000 miles with Mobil 1. I think 10,000 is too far if you use your truck to tow or live in dusty conditions way out on gravel roads like I do.
