Ditch using CAT SOS for sampling and go to Blackstone Labs for your oil analysis. Pay the extra $10 on every sample so they can check TBN and they will tell you how long you can safely run the oil before changing it. I'm of the opinion one brand of oil is as good as another. Never heard of any oil failures before. I use the cheapest oil I can get which is Wal Mart Supertech. It's good stuff the samples don't lie.

Yeah I don't know why. You would think they'd check that too but they don't. That's what tells you when oil is "worn out" though.
ProfessionalNoticer Thanks this. -

I do my own oil changes so save some money there but to me $40 is not a lot of money and it's just part of the routine maintenance. That engine is not cheap and to know what the lifeblood of it is doing $40 is a small price to pay for no expensive surprises.
Accidental Trucker and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this. -
I have had good results with AMSOIL I have heard of Drivers only changing filter's, untill the oil sample results determine 1 is required
