As for changing the oil, here is my oil analysis results for the life of the truck thus far.

agree with millco on this one, get a spin on 2micron cat filter! Bosch minimum requirements for a cp3 and the injectors is 2 micron, piece of mind and added insurance is never a bad thing, unless you enjoy tossing dollars and cents out the window for pumps and injectors

your injectors are susceptible to damage at particulate levels of 3 or more. try to locate a 2 micron filter for the stock housing, or install an Airdog or Fass system. they're less expensive than one injector. If you hang an injector open, you won't feel a difference in performance, and likely wont notice until you check the oil. a stuck injector will end up filling the crankcase with diesel.

i change my fuel filter when i do oil changes. usually as i wait for the oil to drip out of the bottle into the funnel i do the fuel filter at the same time. super easy. i use a baldwin filter.

hoping to throw a fass in this spring though which should help alot.
