I also used an Amsoil EAO oil filter. There is no bypass on the truck. My goal is to document the progression of the trucks oil in 25,000 miles. This means I will be changing it at 66,009 miles, or 1 year, whichever comes first. I plan on doing oil analysis every 5k miles or every 3 months,whichever comes first, and I WILL discard the oil if the oil analysis recommends that I do so. Would anyone be interested in the results of this? It might prove why Amsoil is THE oil to run.
For anyone interested in the effects of Amsoil on a gas engine, I will be performing the same experiment with my 1988 toyota pickup with a 22r motor. I changed the oil about 3k miles ago, and will have a sample pulled in another 2k miles. Disclaimer: The Dodge only gets driven about 1 time per week right now, so it might take a while to get results :) Scott |
what would the "average" or ballpark price be for the 4 gallons of Amsoil and the filter be?
That way it would be easier to compare to what I am spending every 4-5K or so on regular oil changes.... :) |

wow -- that is a lotta miles...
what affect does time have on the oil though -- cause it would take me forever to rack up that many miles... we've had the truck about a year, well a year in march -- and have put 15K miles on it, or roughly 4 oil changes @ $75 each... the miles wouldn't be a problem, but its the time (more than 3-6 months) i'm curious about |
The additive package in these oils are pretty robust. The oil itself would last much longer, it's the additives that get depleted over time. They've tested these and a year has not been a problem. If going long or more miles, then one needs to do OA to monitor where you are at.

any results yet

I'm going on 9 months with my amsoil bypass system and it works great, but it is on my gas pickup and not the diesel.
