Jason the best thing you can do is run a quality synthetic with 3 to 4K OCIs. You can go an extra step by running the HotShots product also.

I don't think its a waste of money. I use Shaeffer's 7000 oil and the FS2500 bypass oil system. When I'm gone for six months I have 9 to 10K miles on the oil and the oil test comes back good. Camp grounds don't have oil changing pits, LOL.

Edit: All road miles.
