2nd Best upgrade to my truck was... Whatabudro needs to do this!

[DaveBen]

I run 5K miles on Rotella Syn before I change oil and filter.

ouch 5k for an oil change on synt. yep that would get costly based on my current speed of racking em up.
doing here 2k change next week.....
bypass and factory, plus a base line sample. hopefully we can start getting 7 or 8 k i am hoping for 10k oci.

I am at roughly 6500-8K on dino OCI's, Thats usually about 90 days for me give or take. For you guys switching from dino to syn...... Read this.

IMHO if you are going to change your oil on the 5's stick with dino oil. Knock on wood my Blackstone reports have been great so far using Rotella T.

Don't get me wrong........I am a synthetic proponent as my family has used it in our car engines for over 25yrs. I got in the habit of 5k oil changes when the truck was under warranty and just never made the switch. All other fluids in it are Amsoil.

how much does the average syn oil change cost

 

[whatabudro]

Walmart: 4 gallons of Rotella Syn and Motocraft filter(if they have it) $60-65, thats changing it yourself.

95 stroker,

My oil analysis on my jeep was exactly the same when i switched to syn,but 2 oil changes later still on SYN they dropped to below waht normal was on Dino .

It basicly got rid of the crap I had in there that the dino wasnt washing away. I will change my oil filter after 1K in miles after the switch to SYN, ust like I did my jeep.

For the record, I am not anti-syn, I only wanted to shed some light that not all engines are appreciative of syn oil... why??? I dunno.

Do most of you change your own oil?

 

[whatabudro]

I do everything I can do with the tools I have. Which just happens to be a lot of tools.
