ULSD Fuel additives
In this same vain. I have had my FC for one year now. I've put 6000
miles on the oil and filters. I've got some drips of oil and I likely burn some as well. In that one year and 6000 miles I would guess I've added at least 5 qts of oil (maybe more) . Typically I would change oil and filters at this time but the ole girl holds 21 quarts. I do next to no short runs and the oil as visible on the dip stick looks clean (for a diesel) I am thinking of waiting until winter and changing oil before I put her away. I might run her another 3000 miles to that point. I would not want to give her anything but the best but it seems in this situation a waste to me. My heart is not set on this so if you fellows with experience think I should go ahead and change oil at this time I would certainly do so. It just seems like a bit of over kill considering all the "new" oil added and the use for which this bus is put. I know this is asking for opinions. I just don't want to be wasteful. Or should I have the oil sampled? If so how do you get a sample? I can see crawling under there and trying to get a couple ounces and getting the hole 21 quarts on the drive. Or will the truck service centers do this for me?
