5 7.3 ford diesels only changed if water light comes on or fuel restriction. Some times as much as 3 years between changes.

Stationary engines every 500 hrs and these run against the governor or wide open full power sometimes as long as 7 days 24 hrs a day.

We are getting 20 plus years between overhauls.

We actually get less time out of exhaust system than we do most anything else.

The fuel filter on our Silverado gets changed when the display says 10% life left.
