yeah that's what i've been wanting to do too. there's a guy on another forum i used to go to. he's a dealer and claimed at that time to have almost 100k on his oil. don't know if he was just bs or not.

It's being done, not sure why though. Once a year is good enough for me. don't want my drain plug to rust shut

Yup.. I ACTUALLY haven't switched over to AMSOIL in the dodge. its the only truck that still has dino oil in it, in my fleet of 5 cars. The only reason for that is, its not time to do an oil change yet. I have the oil on the way, and you can bet that I am gonna have the oil analyzed on a regular basis. I love the stuff. I also use Amsoil EO filters on all my rigs, from my 1984 Chevrolet S-10, 1988 toyota pickup, 2000 hyundai accent (wifes car) and my 1989 jeep wrangler. The Dodge is next.

Herb's a good guy. Sounds like he might be getting ready to sell and upgrade to a 6.7L.

If you do seek another oil analysis company, pay attention to what parameters they analyze for with the money you spend. Other oil analysis companies don't include TBN and other important parameters for their basic rate; they charge extra for things that are already included in the AMSOIL / Oil Analyzers kits.
