Oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, which is why mileage and time-based maintenance matters even when the oil does not look heavily contaminated. Towing up to 2,000 pounds, carrying heavy cargo, and frequent stop-and-go driving can increase operating demands.
