"Try 18,000 miles next." Is that a joke?I guess it's pretty good with the Amsoil and Amsoil filter at over 14k miles for the oil change.View attachment 504013
"Try 18,000 miles next." Is that a joke?
They said try 16k miles...not 18k. I'm going to keep it conservative and not push it too much. I did my oil change and added Lube Gard with the Amsoil to see. And my truck is over 22k miles now, approaching 23k miles."Try 18,000 miles next." Is that a joke?
FYI Blackstone said try 16K not 18K and no its not a joke, the OP is using some very good synthetic oil, even after 14K it still had a TBN of 3.5..."Try 18,000 miles next." Is that a joke?
What was it at when you changed oil at 14K?I'm going to change the oil filter when it gets down to 45% oil life on the EVIC and see how that goes and then try the oil analysis again.
On the EVIC it was at 15% oil life.What was it at when you changed oil at 14K?
Keep in mind that using additives in the oil with AmsOil will void their warranty should something happen due to an oil issue.They said try 16k miles...not 18k.

You had 14k miles on that oil sample and your “oil life indicator” showed 15%?On the EVIC it was at 15% oil life.
every car, truck I have had in the last 15 years ( 7 of them from an Audi Q5, BMW 535I , Toyota camry, Ford Edge, F150, Jeep GC , Ram 1500 have always gotten 15K on them before oil changes and never a problem) has had regular oil changes but its not just that. Its the filters being changed as well, spark plugs etc. Its a sum total. Driving habits, Vehicle maintenance, Geography everything. No 2 vehicles can be the same period.If I remember correctly when synthetic was first introduced they recommended 30,000 miles between oil changes. Now guys are talking like under 10,000.... why???
The first oil change I did (on the oil that came in the truck from the dealer), I was at 7200miles on the odometer and it showed 10% oil life on the EVIC.You had 14k miles on that oil sample and your “oil life indicator” showed 15%?
Here all this time I was under the impression the indicator was based on 10k intervals. Am I missing something?
