    Install a bypass filter and pay for oil analysis. You could be able to stretch it to 50k or more with those two items.

    Do you read your own analysis's or does the company you use tell you, "Hey, trucker Joe, it's time to change your oil" ?

    Tractor supply in Omaha NE had plenty of 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon oil and 5 gallon buckets. Delvac15/40, VALVOLINE Blue 15/40
    Must be regional shortages on oil. Haven’t seen it locally yet

    Local shell dealer can't get jugs for a while now. Bulk is even hard to get. Heard they aren't even producing jugs at this time because just don't have enough oil. The additives for the oil is the hold up
     
    Lostkeys and Ruthless Thank this.

    at $30+ a gallon, pretty good flip/ I was paying 60 bucks for a 5 gallon pail for a long time. I don’t have a place that’s convenient to store bulk oil at this point in time.
