| Oil life monitor Does anybody base their oil changes from it? Mine has gone approx. 10K miles. Is that too long? Truck has 95K on it. Used 1 quart in that time.

| Everything I do is based on miles. I keep a spread sheet and log everything I do to my vehicles.

| Yeah I don't go by what the DIC says. If my truck goes 5,000 between oil changes I'm pushing it.

| Every 5000 for oil, every 15,000 for fuel filters and run a fuel lubricity additive. Dave

At that rate it would be easy to see 20+k mile intervals for some DDs. But I have seen bad fuel knock it down to 6700 miles. When Racors clog, you know it. Wix (& some others) can bypass and do you harm at those higher intervals.

| Has any body had an oil sample done at higher mileage, 10K vs. 5K? BTW if you change at 5K in your Dmax how often do you change in your gas burner? I usually go 5K on my gas burners. Usually the oil light comes on at around 3K on my wifes then I change it.

| Personal preference I dont follow the DIC %. I track my changes my miles. I keep a little notepad in the truck with what I did, mileage, & date.

| I go by DIC. Mine idles a lot, and DIC takes that into account. At least, that's my understanding. I would have to go by hours on mine, not mileage. I've been planning on switching to AMS Oil, though, so I don't have to change mine so often. Willie can be pretty persuasive, LOL. Sounds like a no brainer when he explains that you can change less often and it's cheaper than the Royal Purple I use now, with the K&N oil filter.
