Spinner II vs other extended oil systems?

I do oil changes at around 25,000 miles or 500 hrs, whichever comes first. Bypass filter gets changed at that time along with the others. Detroit recommends 15,000 / 300 hrs on the pre-egr Series 60. But that was before ULSD and CJ-4 oil. I go longer and the oil samples all look good. I also use a synthetic blend I get from Schaeffer oil. Cost is equal to anything on Wally World shelves and it is delivered to me free of charge and they include oil sample kits and free analysis. I just do a sample when I change oil.

 

I’m very interested to know which would work best a bypass filter system or a spinner ll? I’m looking into the spinners but I don’t know which one would be best for a series 60.any info would be much appreciated.

 

Ive used spinners in trucks long ago. Simple things if they are on it.

However. Pulling dirty oil out of the engine and replacing the filters and adding fresh oil is like a fountain of youth to your big truck. It will live forever. Provided everything else is in spec.

Whatever she has on now as built is what she gots. Don't go trying to add or mod. Espeically if she has been running well with that oil at 15K or less miles in changes.

Ive taken S60 detriots to between 25K and 35K miles in 6 weeks before oil changes and no apparent problems on Rotella T and standard truck filters. We were a team operation that put 210,000 miles on our S60 in 10 months, the 12.7 had ZERO oil related issues and was tested for metal contamination etc in the oil twice and showed nothing. After about 8500 hours in the engine the first year we turned it in essentially still brand new. It would be years before she developed problems.

The moral of TLR is this. Don;t go hunting problems or creating them that which has not existed yet. If you are thinking about these things then you already must have had a issue somewhere already. Otherwise drive on making your money. Be happy.

 

im currently running a delo 15w40 synblend. I change the oil every 20k and all is well. Despite having an oil leak the truck runs excellent. My interest in adding the filter is because I love the truck and want to give it the upmost maintenance and protection I can.
