This post only applies to periodic oil and filter changes. Not changes brought about by other maint such as a head gasket change or such.
The LO states to only change oil and filter when the oil analysis indicates to change them. They do say to sample oil every 60 or 120 depending on use (Regular Army or Reserve).
For guys that have had analysis done it appears that levels of certain substances are given but do they every make a recommendation as to a filter or oil change? I figured the Army has it's own thing going but did not know if the civilian testing labs make the same recommendations at the Army lab.
What do you guys do for oil and filter changes? Wait to be told by analysis or change at regular intervals? What interval do you use and how many miles do you put on your truck. I only put about 200 or 300 miles on mine in a year. This is the main reason I was thinking about going by the oil analysis.
Please comment.
