    Doesn't matter about engine. They usually have a sticker you have to put on bottle and they ask questions about engine.

    What do you haul? I presume grain but who knows. As one can tell, by reading this thread, haul a lot of different products with a hopper.

    Takes betweeen 5-10 working days, alot has to do with shipping to them. Read the FAQ on their site for gas/deisel. Get some of the bubble wrap type envelopes and have it weighed once then just put stamps on it and mail it once you know how many stamps to use. If your running a bypass to extend the oil life then have them run the TBN to tell you about the additives left in the oil. There are replenishing additives that you can add if you need to per their analysis. If you do this every 5000 mi. At a total cost of about $35 for complete analysis then your paying about $.007/mi for peice of mind and huge savings on future repairs in that you can catch them early. Fuel or water in oil? bearings beginning to break down? filtratrion system faulty? Oil change, required or not? The savings add up quickly.
