If you guys are running Long Haul OTR, is there a reason you are doing your oil changes that often? What kind of oil are you using? the standard 10/30?
Im using Mobile Delvac synthetic blend and im thinking of going every 25k miles. The DD13 manual recommends 50k miles when running long haul. I dont idle the truck much, use the APU most of the time when needed.

I oil change every 14k miles and I’ve had one truck hit 1.4m miles before rebuild. Two other trucks rebuilt and sit at 1.7m and 1.9m miles. As well as a newer truck at 800k and even my 400k mike truck I still do every 14k mike service. It’s important to grease a truck so those doing massive interval services, I hope you grease in between.
I use Mystiq oil and replace all filters except air filter and it runs $260-280 on the older trucks, and like $330-$350 on newer trucks with the Cummins.Speed_Drums Thanks this. -
I've always changed all filters (minus air filters) every service. I don't do that guessing game crap as to how long a fuel filter will last before its restricted.

I do 12k to 15k on mine regardless of engine, Add 1 gallon of Lucas, the cost is between $400-$450 depending on location.
Oil, fuel filters, grease.
Change rear end and transmission oil every Sept.
I change my air filters every Jan. And July.
If I buy a truck, first thing is oil change, rear end oil change, transmission, and air filters.
Then they go to my set schedule. -

She’ll rotella every ~15ishk, sometimes it’s 14 if I have a chance to change it, sometimes it’s closer to 20 if I’m busy, all filters except for air, truck gets greased about every 3 weeks. Pull reefer regional
