WOW... Please share why it is bad to change any fluid little bit early, like 10 percent?
Since you asked my opinion m....... It is a waste of money. I get an oil analysis done every oil change since I can have them done for free. We provide UOA's for our medium and heavy duty fleet customers. I have done a 10k oil change and a 15k oil change and the UOA showed no significant difference between the wear metals, mineral additives, or fuel dilution.
So my conclusion based on actual testing(instead of he said she said) is that it is a waste of money to change your oil too soon. Everyone should get a few UOA's done so they can know exactly how long they can go between oil changes. The more oil wasted multiplied by everyone in the world means that more oil is used for their "cheap insurance" which means my fuel and oil cost more.
So what is your experience besides this "Cummins engineer"?
