93 4.0l ax15 np231 210k miles
so today I just did my oil change is I was just a little over on mileage (5723 miles) I change the oil every 5k so it has been 10723 miles since the last change.. well I didn't mean for it to go so long. only a half a quart came out. I haven't had any ticking or knocking noises. only thing Ive notices is that it gets warm fast but doesn't over heat unless I sit still. the oil pressure gague was sitting half way between the 0 mark and the next mark. I don't trust the pressure gauge and need to change the sending unit out with an oem one b/c it just jumps all around.
now has anyone ever experienced this? I have no oil in water. no water in oil. she doesn't smoke. she doesn't leak. spark plugs look normal.
I know I need to change/check my oil more often.
