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.

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.

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.
