So my question is how do you suck it out of the heads?

the oil will travel back into the hpop while your sucking.

It just keeps comming and comming and comming, then eventually you stop sucking oil.

Use Amsoil 15W-40 Marine/Diesel oil. The 5W-40's oils are not recommended in OBS 7.3 Power Strokes.

Yes you can get some really long oil change intervals when you use the by-pass filtration systems. Some of the commercial over the road truckers are getting 200k to 300k oil change intervals with the synthetic oils & by-pass filtration systems. Just make sure you spend the money for a very good system, like everything else in life ya get what ya pay for!

If it's shorter then it's shorter. I know synthetics are good stuff, nothing like dino oil.

would you run the rotella 5w30 synthetic this long with a bypass filter?
this is the only oil my truck has ever had, 3,000 mile changes for the first 60,000 miles than when I got it I went to 5,000 mile chnanges.
