Oil change and filter interval

Bypass and Oil Samples is the way to go. I am an independent Amsoil Dealer if anyone needs any information or oil or high quality filters or a simple bypass setup. You can have it shipped to your home or business or you can pick it up at a distribution warehouse

 

That sounds like another project for YouTuber Project Farm, or maybe he has already put it to the test.

 

No way I'd try to carry that much fluid. That would be dumb to do. Hopefully you're just getting sarcastic.

I let the experts do the testing for me but like I said it's been many years since I've been in the oil industry.

 

Here's an Amsoil Bypass Filter demonstration

 

I wouldn’t call it crazy. About a year ago my radiator broke and was leaking a lot of coolant. I had like 2 gallons on me, just enough to make it to a Love’s some 3 miles away and grab about 7 gallons of coolant to then make it some 30 miles to a mechanic shop. I got lucky.

Now, I suppose you can have Love’s or TA/Petro bring you some coolant, which will cost at least $100 an hour from the moment the mechanic leaves the shop until he returns to the shop. Coolant is $12.50 at Walmart.

 

Several years ago I lost the coolant line to the transmission on a Sunday night in a snow storm, 350 miles from home. I had two gallons of coolant in the bunk which got me about 25 miles before the " low coolant" light came on. After that I used those two coolant jugs to get water at every rest area, gas station, etc until I got up in the hills with no services, so then I stopped at every stream and river and topped off. Took me 11 hours to get home. ...... Snow plow crew saw me with the hood up next to a river at about 3:00a.m. And offered to help. Said no thanks i had it covered.

got home, repaired the hose, flushed the system, refilled with coolant. No problem.

 

I am not sarcastic, we carried 5 gallons rotella T and (After we had a mountain incident which we lost three, costing us a JIT delivery by 14 hours waiting up there) and 4 gallons of coolant, when mixed with water would be enough to get to a shop big enough to fix it.

Most of my later years in trucking carried a certain percentage of our tare in materials, tools and other items deemed useful in any situation that is possible in any season of the year anywhere in the USA. Chains were the one exception.

All of them have been handy to be there ready to use, saving us a tow, delay or other losses.

If I am being sarcastic I will let people know. Otherwise its been there done that. Crazy or not.
