    No I haven't at this point. Not opposed and we do all Maintenace on them and oil seems pretty clean at 25k compared to my older trucks at around 15k

    Not a bad idea at all. What engine? I would certainly add that to my older trucks to extend oil change intervals

    MX13.But my take on spinners is that they are good for any engine.30y ago we had a truck with a spinner that you could open up.Should have seen what dirt that thing got out off the oil.Was like solid tar.With the modern emmissions engines i think they do a very good job.Change oil and filters together.Maybe Davel could tell us what the Volvo dealers take is on this?

    Not anymore,the old truck is gone.EPA10 or Euro 6 with a MX11 now.Strange thing is dealer wants me to do more miles with my oil.Talking about 60 000.:eek:
    I think i will take a sample around 45 000 and see what the analysis says.
