[QUOTE="Old-Raptor-guy, post: 1815464, member: 52062"] To each their own. I see broken engines all day every day. And i didn't respond to start a pissing match, you do you and i will do me. With that, why isn't that with "better" oils engines are not really lasting longer with longer oil change intervals??? Seems that oil got better, oil change intervals got extended but average engine life gained nothing. It isn't like 500,000 miles is the normal now. Next point: oil "analysis " yea I have seen that fail many times. Best example is a Komatsu track hoe excavator that has in for service on the hydraulic system repairs as standard procedure the Komatsu dealer did an oil analysis and it passed with flying colors and an oil change was NOT needed. 48 minutes of run time later the engine spun 4 main bearings and 3 rod bearings (never lost oil pressure) the oil pan had so much metal that Todd Hoffman would have got a woody. Both myself and the owner had a hard time understanding how the oil "analysis" detected no abnormal amounts of metal in the oil. That was a $65,000 engine (yes sixty-five thousand) I am not saying at the time of hydraulic repairs an oil change would have prevented anything at that point.. what I am say is waiting for someone else to say "time for an oil change" seems like it is to late. My anecdotal evidence says since in the last 2000 miles is spent over 600 in Baja mode in the desert which doesn't really let rpms go below 4000 I need an oil change. But hey what about the environment, you are "wasting oil" . Am I???? How much fossil fuel is burned producing, shipping, installing a replacement engine?? How about a replacement vehicle??? [/QUOTE]
