Personally, i wouldn't stretch a change out that far, just curious about filter changes for that interval.

Half way is when you change it.

I personally dont do it. But you can we do it at work on these big Cummins and Cats 12 cylinder engines run oil analysis and change when needed. We talking 200k engines my company operates over 200 boats on average each engine holds about 40 gallons of oil. Change the oil once a year filters get changed every 500 hours. It can be done fleets do it as well with no issue.

That's like putting a drop of food coloring into a glass of water, or a drop into a swimming pool...which one will have the higher ppm of coloring?...

Your missing the point its same concept ok take the big motors out do our generators holds 3 gallons on same rotation as big motor. Same capacity as these trucks. I dont personally do it to my trucks but it does happen and it does work is all Im saying.

Either way, it's apples and oranges to compare a commercial boat to a pickup truck.
I haven't changed the oil in my pushmower in 7 years...can I compare that to a pickup truck too?

How did I miss the point when you never said anything about generators in your last post?
