    Amsoil signature synthetic with their filters changed at 20k. I would go by hours, but my stupid Cat digital information thing only works now and then. I need a new one, or an analog hour gauge.

    Yokos cost me 2800. Michillin are 4600. 1800 difference. If I run a year it's 2800 loss in money at 90k miles. 2.85 a gallon. In 1.65 years I would make up the difference in buying new Michillins. I'll have 520 miles on my Freightliner at that point, so I don't know if I want to.

    It’s hard to believe tires could make that big of a difference. If you’re going to trade it in I wouldn’t bother.
