Still don't understand why people are so paranoid about this.
I think they changed the mileage requirements one of the years but don't remember when. The 4500 may have been the original and the 7500 the new? To lazy to check it.
I agree people like to change oil way too early. It doesn't hurt anything but is an extra cost and has a greater environmental impact. My theory is people do it so often because it makes them feel like they have made a difference.
