After doing a serach I basically see the same questions asked over and over.. There is some little bits added here and there - but basically the same..
I also see - there is a heck of a lot of tech stuff to look at instead of JUST taking someones word on good stuff "someone" used on something - and etc, etc...
One real question should be for my "wishes"
1. I don't really care about going to the last drop in OCI - what I wish is say 7500 - 12,500 on good oil. To keep the engine clean as possible and have the 500,000 or 1,000,000 dodge truck. (if I decide to take it that far). Min. wear..
change out the oil to keep it new/clean/etc..
2. Say again clean engine.. Right now the basic cost of schaeffers vrs dino change out with coupons at dealer is about the same... I must say I have been changing out my oil at 3500 - 4,500 miles - with the first change out at 1,500 and 3,000 and 5,000 (for the record).. I got sucked into the dealer telling me they req. normal oil OCI with the new cummins.. While I did not mind changing my oil for $27 oil/filter.. I finally woke up and smelled the coffee and decided to find some really good oil for my $35,000 truck/etc, etc.
3. may put in a oilguard bypass to change once a year/etc..
4. IS a high quality blend like the schaeffers enough with change outs at 7,500 - 9,000 with a basic bypass to keep the truck ticking at 500,000 with min. oil issue problems occuring from wear/bluidup/gunk/etc... I know - OUI's - I plan to do several and find out.. It is just after reading some of the BITOG "purist" comments and others stuff - its leaves you to wonder about products and realize most people don't know what they are using/selling/talking of... (the LAST statement is NO reflection on schaeffers stuff! for the record! OR this web forum! )
It is I just can't "now" decide to use a true syn.. or just keep my blend..
ps: 2004 dodge HPCR cummins, automatic, South Texas heat.
ps: guess I wil start another thread on B20 fuel - is there any thing to know about when running biodiesel and crank oils..
