oil analysis
Greetings all, I am somewhat a stickler to maintenance on my vehicle since I do a lot of driving and I want to be sure that my vehicle will last as long as it possibly can I have a F350 dually long...

I run Delvac 1300, @ about $10/gallon, and change it at the recommended intervals for severe use: around 5,000 miles. I could run synthetic at about twice the cost and change it at 10,000 miles. Either way it costs me about the same. This is for a 2001 Dodge Cummins, with 105,000 miles. It is used almost exclusively to pull our 15,000 lb. 5th wheel.
All analyses from Blackstone Labs show excellent results. This was part of the last one:
"While it's impossible for there to be absolutely no bearing wear in 4,599 miles, it is possible for it to be so low that we can't measure it, and that's what we've got here."
I think I'll probably stick to what I've been doing so far.
You're leaving a part out. Blackstone always recommends that next time you can go to X amount of miles. (at least in the reports I have seen.) What was the recommendation?
