9,886 miles on sample. 89,214 on truck. Oil and full flow filter changed. Amsoil bypass is also installed on truck, but bypass filter wasn't changed.
Main reason I changed oil was because I needed to install a fumoto.
What's going on there Dave?!
Yep, a typical ho-hum nothing wrong DMax UOA. I was really excited to see the results from this UOA since it's been such a long time that I've sampled.
By the way, what's the TBN of a virgin sample of Rotella T6? Was curious to gauge that against my current TBN...

No idea. Was four years ago, and was my lone sample to ever have a high Cu reading.
Anyone know where I can order the Frantz square round o ring in bulk? I sent McMaster Carr one of my Frantz o rings to match up and they stated there wasn't a match for it. By the way, McMaster Carr is a pain to deal with. They lost my first o ring I sent to them, and it took them three weeks to...

Prove that statement. I've been digging around trying to find accurate, standardized testing that shows...

As I recall, you first had an Amsoil and then an OilGuard, rigth?
How do you like this set up versus the other two you were using?
Did you change to this to go back to less expensive element changes?
What FCI are you setting for the t/p?
I like...
I wished I never would have sold my old Ralph Wood Motor Guard. I liked the design on it better. I kick myself every day for selling it years ago. Now, I can't find one anywhere.
