Oh [censored], you're right. I was thinking quarts.
Well then, 10 gallons IS a lot.
If I am right then running 10 gallons for 40k isn't a great test of oil,I think it could be done with cooking oil!
I just assumed when I read his post that he meant quarts but something still isn't right if he has a CTD. It takes 11 quarts to fill initially with filter. I would assume that he does his uao's somewhere around 20k, in which case it would take a quart for filter(if he changes) and/or loss (depending how he takes crankcase oil for sample) of oil which could be a quart?? Thats another 1 to 2 quarts each uao or 2 to 4 quarts total for the 40k total, which wouldn't have been bad. Wish he'd clarify. I hate going thru life confused
Me too!
I bought initially 10 gallons and used 4 gallons right away to fill it up, my truck uses 16 quarts to fill 7.3 diesel, I added dual filter setup with the large be110 bypass.
I added oil when needed and I changed the filters a few times over the five years,I used 5w30 HDD Amsoil, an with my dually I would get 20mpg minimum empty and 24 max, loaded 10,000lbs I would get 14/18mpg, I hope this clears up things?
