Trip Report
Just completed a 3100 mile trip to south Florida pulling an 8500 lb TT over a 6 week period. The truck is a 2010 F250 6.4 and had 9800 miles on it at the start with about 2500 miles on the oil change. After being on the road about two weeks had the oil and fuel filters changed at a dealer in Dunnellon, Fl. Truck had 10000 miles on it at this time and oil level was good.
Arrived back in Kentucky yesterday and truck now has 13500 miles on it and oil level is fine, no overage, and next change is scheduled at 15000 miles. Truck ran perfectly the entire trip and was a pleasure to drive, especially towing. Average mpg towing was 12.1 and non towing 20+. I only saw ONE Regen notice, could have been others, but did not observe any more.
This truck may bite the big one tomorrow, but today, I love it.
