    Im sure these are ran for X amount of time at the manufacturer to get any possible debris out

    I don’t remember when I did oil changes on the last 2 new rigs I had but it was much sooner just for that warm fuzzy insurance aspect

    I think my manual says 80k for changes
    I still don’t go 1/2 that and more like 30k

    I did mine around 20k as well. I get this new extended life can hold its value but I'll shorten the intervals by a few thousand just for peace of mind.
