Alternative Fuels - Diesel - Additives - LubricantsDiscussion Of Diesel, its Various Additives, Oils, Lubricates & Alternative Fuels EG. Bio-Diesel ect...
A diesel engine with oil that does not get dirty from soot but instead is suppose to stay creamy looking, especially with regular filtration, I would have to wonder about that myself. Especially if extending the oil change intervals. The additives in Amsoil catch and hold the soot in your engine and that is why it "Gets Dirty", but it does so so that it does not build up everywhere else in the engine. As for knowing for sure either way about whether Shaeffer's will do that, IDK, I have no personal experience with Shaeffer's, but I have to doubt that ANY oil stays that clean while still doing it's job.
Also, please keep in mind that I am not saying ANYTHING against Shaeffer's a a brand of oil, although I have not run it myself, I have heard a lot of good things. But then again, I am not one to bash on any product just for bashing sake or to make our products sound better.
can u please send me a pm with all synthetics for my 09, i will be changing within the next month... tranny, diff front/rear, oil, transfer... thanks a bunch!

Can anyone please post an oil analysis of there truck up. If you take samples it will come back with the soot content. I would like to compare.

If you look on Bob's The Oil Guy there have been 1000's of analysis's done. Below is one from a member here and it is the most recent one I have, I have not scanned any others lately.
Most will disagree but I'm a believer that it's more about quantity than quality. I believe you are better off spending money on MORE oil changes than the type of oil you put in.
My 2 cents worth

I see your point if your using dyno or other synthetics. With AMSOIL it is formulated to not break down like others, hence saving you money on oil changes and protecting your motor better.
I guess the issue I have that assuming everything else is equal, foreign particles get in your engine the same regardless of the oil you use and they do damage as well as oil break down. A huge oil study was done years ago using the hard working NY Taxi considered the hardest treatment for the otto cycle. Mobile 1 thru re-refined was used and after 100,000 miles the test vehicles were dismantled and the wear was negligible. The main summary point was it's not the oil so much as the regular maintenance that will protect the internal components best. Like I say many will disagree and we all take care of our rigs like we think we know best. I say good luck to all.
