The 2019 Super Duty manual uses term Special Operating for conditions mentioned above as Severe Duty. These are the conditions : Diesel Engine- maintenance detail deleted by me. If you operate your vehicle primarily in any of the following conditions, you need to perform extra maintenance as...

Could the 5W-40 be listed as the oil for severe duty versus 15W-40 because severe duty could be for snow plows and colder climates? The only reference that I found in manual for severe duty service mentioned snow plow.

Low temperatures in metro Denver tonight are to be 3F, which is barely in the 0F+ range for "Normal Usage" 10W30. I called dealer service department that I purchased the 2019 F-350 diesel from and left a message asking what comes from factory. If they don't know or don't reply I may call another...

Above given advice has been good. Coolant loss is now very low/normal (have not added any for many months) but I will watch fluids on a regular basis. Thanks! Maxima is hard on oil (as stated above) and that is why Nissan recommends much more frequent oil changes than other manufactures. I will...

Makes sense. I will try to get data on oil that was used (but since then oil was changed by a NAPA related shop, after sample was taken, that uses "oil similar to Pennzoil"?, change oil at 3k, and use an oil with known oil properties. Very helpful posts!

Here is the UOA http://s5.postimg.org/5s8ot0oxj/UOA_1.gif I'll work on better attachments and follow recommended subject format for future posts--Thanks!

2000 Nissan Maxima with 185,000 miles, 5500 miles on oil, Na 199, K 9, TBN 1.5 One and only UOA has high sodium and potassium(?) so I am concerned if there could be a head gasket problem. Car runs well with oil color good (not milky), no exhaust smoke, runs at ideal engine temperature... About...

Thanks to all for sharing all the knowledge! I will use the Fram Ultra and like the idea of changing oil twice a year or 5,000 miles. Since Walmart has many high quality full synthetic oils for a little over $26 for five quarts this seems very reasonable. Advanced Auto has PP with Fram Ultra...
