    In your owners manual theres a table for oil change intervals, use the one for Heavy Duty or Extreme use (I forget the exact phraseology), but, I would do it every 20-25K.....remember, you'r not doing OTR steady state driving all the time....

    It’s been ok so far. I got to pull maple logs out of Jellico mountain Tennessee. Boy that was fun going on narrow mountain road. 79550 on 40’. Overloaded me on drives 36 k on drives. Luckily I was able to slide my fifth wheel and managed to get down to 34500 on drives. Hope container makes it to Japan safely it was pain it the ###. Bunch of 53’ loads lately, some good some cheap. Prefer NS over CSX their boxes and chasis are in much better shape.

    Kiswani Shop, honest, not the cheapest, but the job only has to be done once.....when they don't know how to do it, they freely admit it, for Detroit or Cummins they pretty much can do anything, Cat they dabble, Volvo, Paccar or Mercedes, they pass on......

    And they charge real work hours, not book....
