Alright, when do the ISB and B series boys get it? Thats one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.

Shoot Whit, I bet I could make me one of them thingies!! In all seriousness, it wouldn't be all that hard.

My ex-boss never did oil changes because he said enough leaked out/got added regularly that it changed itself. MAYBE he wasn't crazy afterall! LOL.

Sounds good, but in reality, short of a fleet situation, how expensive is that LOF really? I think I'll stick to my regimen. For a fleet owner though, anything to lower the consumables cost is a blessing these days.

I'm sure it uses a pretty large bypass filter, a stocker wouldn't cover it. It may even use 2 or 3 bypass filters, who knows. Anyone have more info on this system?

My N-14 takes 11 gallons to do an oil change. I take it to a local shop every 10,000 to 12,000 miles and it cost about $190.00 each time so it may be something for a big truck to look in to.

Our Stieger Tractor with a 903 takes 12 Gallons, withthe reserve tank, and I change it every 400hrs, the oil alone cost $200...it adds up fast!

Thats pretty cool but I've heard stories of over the road trucks running amsoil and going just as far. No fancy management unit to buy, just a bypass filter and oil.

The problem with even Amsoil is it doesn't hold soot in suspension, it deposits it wherever it can. The lubrication is great, but the deposits can take there toll on bearings and oil rings. Dino is still the best for hard working engines (diesels anyway) unless you live somewhere extremely cold. I blend might be better, but I've seen the effects of synthetics on hard working engines...it makes them a pain to clean up when they're apart.

Where did you get this information from? As my self and a few thousand other people who use there oil would like to know!!

I'm surprised you can only go 10-12K per oil change with todays oil. Heck back in 1985 our normal OCI on my Cummins 350 was 10K but once a year when we did mostly non stops hauling we went 15K on and oil change.

the thing I think would be cool bout this is yer oil TBN would always be the same
