I'll add to the idle the Hemi debate a bit and say that I know of a few that were in our company fleet that ounce started up at 5:00 am in the morning, no matter what the temperature would not get shut off till quitting time most days, and on some long summer paving days that could be 15 hours. A quarter or more of that would be idle time on a superintendents truck. These trucks went for three seasons and had well over three hundred thousand kilometres on the odometer and ran regular old bargain basement oil. Not always on time either. Now after that they go to auction so I don't know if they are still running but they were hard tuff performing engines and trucks while they worked in the fleet. And they abuse they endured would or should be more then a lifetime for most. Not all are created equal of course and there is bound to be bad apples in every orchard. I give mine penzoil platinum with a synthetic filter and I don't even go with very long drain intervals. Not because I'm worried about it wearing out prematurely or anything else just because I can and I know it is in fact better for my truck.
That's my 2 cents Canadian. take it at the current exchange rate I guess.
