Message: [QUOTE="CATDiezel, post: 1405881, member: 4387"] LOL I honestly hold zero grudges. Life is way to short and there are starving people walking the streets daily that have far worse problems than we could imagine. Yes it gets passionate around here from time to time but it's all good on my end! Let me put the dumb over and over crazy oil threads in perspective of reality. 90% of us will sell these trucks before "high mileage" is a concern. 99% of these trucks have never experience an oil related failure...!!! 90% of people don't use Oil Analysis. And if theyou did they wouldn't believe what they read. You could literally run these trucks at 15k mile intervals with RotellaT 15w40 and would never experience a failure. I see hundreds of oil analysis samples on multi million dollar engines monthly and must trust them because when your talking about changing 7500 gallons of oil in 10 engines cost becomes very crucial. I've said what I've said above and live by it. These are toy throw away engines I perspective to multi million dollar engines. A long block for a 6.7L cost the same for me to even remotely repair one injector issue on a 8000hp+ engine. Keep I mind this is perspective only. Yet we will run oil for 15,000 hrs (2yr run time intervals). Even tho CAT recommends every 8760hrs. Sampling is key. Filtration is also important. Amsoil bypass kit simply WORKS. However. On a deIeted truck it's also proven to be overkill on a 6.7L. Jim's kit is a filter kit just like amsoils kit. Personally I'm probably the most unbiased purchaser of products around. I'll by from Mikey at Nolimit and gripe at him the next week!! LOL. But I like his products and if I think somethings dumb I'll say so and address the issue with him. Here you go for stock trucks. Run the oil to 6500-7500 miles rinse and repeat. Done. Motorcraft. Rotella. Synthetic. Whatever you want bros. I dropped my initial break in oil out of mine at 7500 miles. Yes you read that correctly!!! Anything harmed.... nope. Was it low on oil.... NOPE. was it dirty... YEP. I guess I've seen so many engines torn apart in high HP diesel and NG applications that I developed a calis to saying "it's the oils fault" the problem 99.75% of the time was from a mechanical failure that wiped out the engine. We are not driving Volkswagen TDI's. That gave super weak camshafts that need a special oil and additive package to keep them from flaking and wearing out!!! Haha.
