mercer transportation

50k pretty long. You have a bi-pass on it?

 

Nope, that was the factory recommended oil change interval for that motor running long Hual. I just followed the book, after I came here I must admit I started changing oil every 35k as I really wasn't long Hual anymore.

 

That's what Detroit recommends for line haul service. Severe duty is 35,000 miles.

 

I change mine at around 18k on an isx 870. I'm terrified that it might fail. It burns a gallon every 15 or 16 k.

 

On a different tangent. I think it's weird that EBT can be used to buy fast food at a Huck's Pilot.

 

Mine (DD16) burned a gallon the first 18,000 miles. Hasn't burned a drop since, now has 42,000 on it. I change the oil between 15,000-20,000.

 

My ISX burned a gallon in the first 5k or so. I'm now at 106k and I might have added a gallon since then in small increments just to keep it topped off. I change my oil at 24k

 

Does Mercer have a decent amount of freight to and from Phoenix or nearby places like Tucson? I was thinking of maybe moving to Phoenix AZ.

 

Yes if you have an rgn...maybe even a step will do as well

 

If your pulling a Van, theres alot of Northern tool freight out of Tucson, We used to have a few custumers in Phoenix. I never really sat more than a day
