Hello all,
I work at a company and one of our work trucks is a 22 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins and we just got it last year brand new. Alot of us coworkers drive a random company work truck depending on what time we get to work, and what truck is left over
I would assume half of the miles were highway and half were city. We don't tow that much and not that heavy so I only think max 3000 miles were with normal or light weight towing. I don't know how long the oil change light was on for, but today when I went to take it for a job, I noticed the mileage and the oil change light so I had someone take it for an oil change asap. After I got the truck back, I was told that was the first oil change the truck had. I was puzzled since that means the oil was in there since brand new and had 17,500 miles on it. I don't know what filter/oil cummins/dodge runs from factory but I am assuming the guys went way over the OCI
Now I am curious, how bad is this so called 'damage'? or is the supposed factory oil and filter good enough for this long long oci. The truck seems to sound and run fine and from now on I hope the others who drive it actually take it for an oil change when it is due
Thanks
