Regardless of engine, I have usually changed out the factory fill oil at around 10,000 miles. There is a lot of residue that is in any new build engine that I like getting out of there and getting fresh oil in. There is a lot more metal residue and stuff that gets loosened up in the first few thousand miles. After that, I just move on to OEM recommended intervals, or whatever regular oil sample testing shows me.

I was wondering if any of you guys know the mpg and empty weight of a Mack pinnacle with a sleeper
-
I won't be the most help to answer this but for me based on the computer running empty it looks like 7+. They have never been filled up after only running empty so I couldn't tell you a pump to pump number. My average MPG is around 5.3 which is running half the time empty half loaded to 140,000 lbs. I run a super B pneumatics so they are not the most aerodynamic which cuts into my economy. The empty train weight is around 44,500LBS for my sleeper (48inch), about half a tonne lighter for the day cabs. I have never weighed the tractor individually.
As an aside, I know one guy who runs both KW and Mack and he has been getting better milage out of the Macks running the same routes. -

Does anyone ever read the engine manuals? I always hear of "that is the way we do it" or "that is they way my pappy did it" kind of things, but I never hear someone state "that is what the manual says to do under XYZ conditions".
