How often are you guys changing your oil in the Permian basin? What kind of oil are you using? Where are you going to get a decent oil change?

Good question to ask on Bobistheoilguy.com

Any severe oil field work I do 500 hour oil changes, any super severe goes down to 400 hours.
Shell rotella is my choice.AModelCat Thanks this. -
Isn't the stuff just shooting out of the ground out there? The freshest, purest draft oil one can imagine. Just get a bucket and funnel and catch some.

I haven't worked out in the basin, but from what I know most of the work is legal loads ,unless your hauling heavy (100,000)+ and pulling a lot of hills, you really shouldn't waist your money on changing the oil on a severe duty schedule.
I work in the north east and all our loads are 100,000+ ,we do our oil at 15,000 which is a little sooner than it should be , I'm assuming its very dusty out there, I would pay attention to my air filters before worrying about short oil change intervals , just my opinion -
