Oil change interval 7.3 PSD
With 16 quarts of oil to draw from I go with the 5K oil and filter changes. No trailer towing and mostly combined freeway with some stop and go.
I'm goiing to try oil analysis next change just for grins; going on 33K+.
The ATF was due at 30K, my next job. I'm planning on using
Amsoil brand 100% synthetic.
I need to look up the xsfer case and differential service, probably about time for them, too.

I was in the same boat not long ago and I decided the best way to figure it out would be by oil analysis. I sent in the first oil sample for analysis at 3,000. It came back with everything looking great and the comment that I could run the oil longer ("try 4000-5000") for the next change. I sent in the next sample with 3761 after some towing and the comments still say I could run the oil longer with insolubles at 0.5% (good I'm told). So I'll run it up to 5,000 the next time and see what happens.
Having the oil analyzed has given me tremendous peace of mind I could not have gotten with just opinions alone. The small cost of analysis will be easily offset in the long run just by helping me determine the optimum change interval for my particular engine, oils, and driving style. The other advantages are a bonus. With 14 qt oil changes in these things, the analysis is a real bargain.

bypass oil filter systems
The oil bypass filtration systems look good in the ads. Does anyone here use one AND use oil analysis? I'm curious to see if the ads reflect real-life experiences.
