[QUOTE="PrecisionEngine, post: 1290177, member: 8346"] Jim, I'm religious with my maintenance and vehicle performance. Every oil change i send in an oil sample for analysis and then decide whether to continue use or change. regardless - i change my oil filters every 3000 miles. I owned this truck since it had 10k miles and it has been ******d since my ownership. I'm good with the maintenance but I don't cut the truck any slack. I don't race it but it surely has always seen a heavy foot once its locked up in 5th. Recently, I took my truck on a rather long and heavy haul journey: 4000 miles with 18k LBS of load with some long 7-8% grades. this is the longest and hardest trip this truck has ever seen so i decided to do a bit of testing.... prior to departure i took an oil sample and changed my filters. upon my return i took another sample and changed my oil and filters again. the truck performed flawlessly throughout the trip. pulled most of the hills without dropping a gear and while keeping the EGTs under 1200deg always. I was pretty impressed, even through the mountains and elevations in Denver. Now to my questions. the post trip oil samples showed an increase in lead, among other metals... I would like to know your opinion of my little test and if i would benefit from switching to your products. P.S. if this thread offends you in any way , please just have it removed. I apologize ahead of time. Thanks, Pete [/QUOTE]
