Changed the oil in my favorite K5 yesterday. Put new Rotella T oil in; engine seems quieter now. And also as an update, I installed a magnetic plug at the last oil change (over 1 year and 800 miles ago) and I am able to say it did pick up some metal particles! Had to clean the magnetic plug before reinstall. Both of my K5's now have the magnetic plugs and I am glad of it!!! Cheap insurance.

800 miles may not seem like a lot for an oil change but as the majority of miles are off-road and the engine is working overtime climbing hills etc. I think probably a shorter interval might be better.
