We change at the Ford recommended interval for "heavy duty" use....6K miles. 90 % or more of those 6K miles will be pulling the 5th wheel at interstate speeds of 62/65 MPH. With all the latest flashes we do not get a lot of regens. We can see the regens via our EGT guage and they occur @ every 500 miles or so at interstate speeds. Example ...the truck has been here in Florida for @6 months. We have put 1245 miles on it or @ 207 miles a month most of them deliberate miles just to keep things moving. Most of those miles have been at speeds of above 50 MPH. I can recall 3 regens during that time. We will get the oil analyzed at the next change.We have had zero issues with this truck and will be at 30K miles when we get home.

We will make no changes to this truck as long as a warranty is in effect and probably not after.
