Absolute is usually beta 1000 which is 99.9%. I know Donaldson likes throwing around beta 1000 numbers. It's practically 100%. Saying "100%" isn't any industry standard I have seen before.
LF16006 ran for 2 years, 788hrs, first oil change on Cummins 6.7L common rail
- Thread starter oil pan 4
- Start date
It doesn't belong to me personally.
Only things that actually belong to me personally that I post about are some neglected mowers that find their way to me and some neglected at least 3rd hand vehicles.
I know how much a Cummins 6.7l engine costs, no way I'd be running hundreds of hours on the first oci.

What do you mean you're no buying the 30k mile talk?
Do you not believe 30k miles could be a thousand hours?
No reasonable person would run their own stuff for a thousand hours on an oil change.
If amsoil or hpl gave me a vehicle to run crazy high oci on then I would, not going to do it on anything I'm paying for.
If hours don't matter then why are all the oil company tests, API and EPA tests done in hours?

Obviously you won’t listen to reason now I see this. You have obviously never saw the long distance test Doug Hillary and others have soke either. I bet you think my work fleet is crazy for going 8,500 and 10k OCI’s on oil then?!
We haven’t ever had an engine issue doing this. I’ve saw many of our vehicles coke back with over 20k cars r longer since last maintenance.
If folks here like dNewton, WWilson and others have successfully ran an oil out to even 50k WITH FACTS AND ACTUAL DATA it can be done. Stop making assumptions and quoting “hours”.
10k miles ran up in less than 6 months backed up with OEM recommendations isn't crazy at all.
That's likely only around 300 hours or less depending on how they're used. I've cut open plenty of 300 to 400hr filters and found almost nothing.
I've got one little 15L diesel that recommends 1,500hr oil changes, if that many hours can be put on there in less than 6 months. Longest I've seen one of those go for was 1,300hrs over 2 or 3 years. I would not recommend doing that. The 2 engines I've seen that had problems likely from the oil not being changed had over 2000 and 3000 hours on them.
API and oil company testing using hours isn't me making assumptions.
I know at my work we do what we do and never an issue. We don’t follow this hour thing you love to discuss. I bet you think I’m crazy using a quality oil like HPL for 15k eh?
Point is I have UOA and data. So I am not crazy jist hate wasting an oil.
It’s kinda hard to run on only mileage on a gen set.
Yeah Genset such as a standby or flood light, air conditioner, pump, test engine.
Hpl is good stuff. Practically immune to viscosity breakdown. Probably only soot buildup, fuel dilution would contaminatenit to the point of not being able to use it or eventually acid from combustion would neutralize your tbn and turn the oil corrosive.
Over the course of 800 hours on a new engine usually none if the oil is changed on time, you fill it up to the full mark and then by the time you need to add more it's time to change it. I would guess less than 3qt, over all 788hrs since it says oil was added, no mention of how much was added, unless it's an unusually large amount.
