Interesting one here, I have no idea what oil the dealer installed in this thing but I don't believe it was 15w-40 HDEO. Super low hours (27h) but oil was in the unit since it was purchased in Oct 2021 so I wanted to flush that out, get a baseline, and develop our moving forward strategy. Now...

I recently picked back up managing some equipment for a ranch outside of Brady, TX. While this unit only had about 26h on the oil, it had been in there for almost 8 yrs due to very low use and nobody monitoring these things. I replaced it with Rotella T6 until I can establish what the actual...

Lots of towing this round, 10K 36ft RV and multiple pulls of the Tundra, Jeep, and WS6 on the car hauler. Make/Model: Cummins ISB 6.7L 2019+ Vehicle: 2019 Ram 2500 The first two runs were Amsoil ADN while this most recent is Amsoil DTT 10w-30. Current fill is once again the Amsoil DTT 10w-30...

Ran maybe the first 5h on Driven BR30, then this fill of VR1 has handled the rest. Oil was replaced with the same VR-1, planning to run that until roughly 1K miles before switching to a semi or full synthetic line.

2nd oil change in the new to me Ram and things look quite a bit worse. Curious did anyone else see something similar from 'Flux' as part of the initial engine break-in period, or is this something to be concerned about? No issue with coolant levels, and have never had to any coolant to the...

Had the upper intake manifold off this round to replace the oil pressure sensor, and just cleaned the K&N after getting this report (it was pretty dirty). Hoping those two are contributors for the jump in silicon Make/Model: Jeep Pentastar 3.6L v6 Vehicle: 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon...

Drained and filled with Amsoil MTF. With the thick gear oil 2nd hated shifting when it was cold out, way smoother with the lighter Amsoil fluid. The RP was installed before we bought it so we decided to run it and not change early, but probably worked much better in South Texas where it came...

Decided to get an initial coolant sample done on the wife's Jeep. Mileage wise from Mopar the coolant is still good, but age wise I figured it might be time to change but wanted to have an analysis done first to confirm.

Second full run with Amsoil siganture. Did end up pulling 3500lbs on this oil change about 500 miles, was curious what impact it might have. I can say the Jeep wasn't a big fan, but seems like the engine didn't mind. Make/Model: Jeep Pentastar 3.6L v6 Vehicle: 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited...

Continued to follow the Blackstone recommendations and extended this one to 50K. Will be pushing towards 60K for the next OCI. This truck does a lot of pulling, but only occassionally is it at the rated limit. Overall pretty happy with the results, especially the PPM / mile trends on Iron...

Drained and filled with Amsoil ASL 5w30 at time of sample. We were about to pull a trailer to the beach with this and wanted to get a baseline sample before. We bought this used from a Toyota dealership, thus the Toyota brand oil in the Jeep. Make/Model: Jeep Pentastar 3.6L v6 Vehicle: 2012...

Oil was changed at the time of the sample. For the blackstone questions below. Does the user this engine sees change significantly from sample to sample? No. Daily driver for the wife. Maybe more highway trips during the holiday season (Nov / Dec), but nothing else I can think of. Hopefully...
