Oil Change

I change my oil at 10,000 miles. the last 15 years, but I have been going to 12,000 the last 3 changes.

 

Our company changes outs every 40,000 Miles I believe. We go in every 20,000 for service but I'm not sure they change it on every service or every other. It might be every 20,000.

 

Heavy you spend a lot on oil changes my god. Figure what $300 - $350 a change and your change once a month that's #### near $5000 a year in oil. Wow

 

I change mine every 10,000 also. But I pull 120,000+ all the time.

 

Weight doesn't effect the oils ability to lubricate. Oil just gets too dirty to properly do its job.

 

But when you pull that kind of weight you work an engine several times harder than what is typical.

 

Cat has a chart for oil change that goes by fuel consumption. They say a truck getting 7MPG can go further between oil changes than one getting 5.5MPG.

 

Dang I need to change more often. 15 to 20 now

 

I said they had a chart. I did not say I follow it!!!

 

Lol I hear that I would need to buy stock just to not go 1000% broke changing every few weeks every other mouth is enough. I HOPE[emoji1]
