Here's the third oil change on my V-10.

The mileage on the oil is up slightly, the fuel is down a bit and the viscosity is improved. I am wondering if the tow/haul mode is creating some of the dilution at high rpm, closed throttle times. This last drain I used t/h about 50% of the time vs. 100% the previous. We climbed the Rockies twice: the engine braking is excellent in t/h. On flat land I left it off.
Otherwise, wear metals have dropped off as expected and everything looks good. I will continue the 5000 mile drains and continue to experiment with tow/haul. I'm looking for Dnewton3s input.
