Rotella T4 every 15k. Don't care its piece of mind

 

Check Filterbarn.com. They may carry your filters cheaper, free shipping for orders over $100

 

Oh boy midnight, I've had so many issues with ta, from oil filters that spray oil all over the place to screwing the oil plug up and blaming the driver.

Get a fumoto oil valve and do not let them try to take it off (they lost a couple of mine).

As for oil, full synthetic, you should have been doing OAs the first oil change and keep doing that all the time. This sets your pattern where you base the oil changes on.

 

$21 a gallon at Wally World ......

 

Penske services our trucks, under contract. they use semi synthetic..but i cannot tell you what brand they use.

in my personal vehicles, i swear by full synthetics....

the cost difference over the length of service change intervals, make full synthetics worth it, and if you buy in bulk, you actually pay a cheaper price over single gallons.

many states have a lubrication oils distributor.

 

Go on YouTube and you'll see pictures of what the inside of a motor looks like that's had extended mileage oil changes. I do mine every 12k...

 

I go 15-18k on oil , filters and grease . I also do grease and fuel filters at 1/2 intervals .....

But I’m not a roadie.... haul heavy and short with lots of idling.....

 

Depends on the truck, we have some that get changed at 20k and others that are done at 50k, the average right now as I looked is at 43k fleet wide.
