For the first OCI I change new vehicles or equipment at half of the reccommended severe duty service requirement.
Example Subaru H-6 half of severe(3750) 1875. factory reccomends 1st at 3000.
Kubota diesel change first time at 100 hours so thats 50...no severe duty requirement.

I've been using 5w-40 Heavy Duty Engine Oils during the winter in my 2002 Powerstroke and my farm equipment that sees daily service. Cold start-ups are much much easier on both. My best example is a New Holland 7740SLE tractor which is used daily and has no engine heater. I have...

I have noticed the same issue with my Kubota ZD-28F ZTR mower in comparison to my John Deere 955 with a Yanmar VTN-84. Both bought new and oil changed more frquently than recommended by the factory. Maybe possibly an emissions related cause?
thanks for all the replies.
The major problem about the filter in question is the difference between a 94-95 Landcrusier and the 97. Most books quote the smaller filter for the later. Also some filter guides quote a different PCV between the two. Yes I have used an FL-1A and FL-300 for that...
Does anyone know if a FL-400S would work on a 1997 Toyota Landcrusier with a 4.5 liter inline six.
Recently ran out of the JAPANESE Toyota filters I had, bought a PL10241 to get me by. Will be doing 8000 mile OCI with GC.
Note:1995 Toyota LC uses a FL-1A or L30001 filters books show a change to...
Has anyone ever used a Motorcraft FL-810 shorter or FL-400 longer filter in place of a L-14459 Purolator for a Subaru H-6? The FL-810 looks identical even with the number 20 stampted in the same location, the FL-400 has a different by-pass valve and 16 stampted on the threaded end. I would like...

My family has three Toyota Landcruisers 86' 94' and 97' All three have large 7.8-8.2 quart sumps and are very easy on the oil. My father always went 7500 miles on dealership service with bulk castrol and Toyota filter. I'm going 10000 miles with GC and Motorcraft filters. I will post that sample...
I use Mobil 1 15w-50 in my 560SEC. Look in your owners manual and the oil weights listed tend to be on the "thick" side. I believe the reason is because its a 2 valve push rod design. Dealership uses or use to, 15w-40 here in Virginia.
Come wednesday, the dealership is doing the 45,000 mile...
