Y anigbajumo:How many kilometers does your truck average in a week when the economy is good? With this, we can better understand your need for frequent oil changes. Mind you, these trucks have very large oil pans and contain enough oil to accommodate long oil change intervals. |

anigbajumo: Oil Change Intervals Vehicle manufacturers have been pushing extended service intervals to reduce maintenance costs for fleets and consumers. Fleets often base oil change intervals on the results of oil analysis, but most consumers either go by the OEM recommended service intervals or rely on an oil reminder service light to tell them when an oil change is needed. On late model light trucks, 7,500 miles is the standard recommended oil change intervals for GM Duramax, Ford Powerstroke and Dodge Cummins turbo diesel engines. However, this is for “normal” (light duty) service. The recommended oil change interval for most “Severe Service” applications (vehicles that are used for towing, hauling heavy loads, operated off-road in dusty environments or spend a lot of time idling, especially during cold weather) is usually 3,000 miles. Most of these engines hold 10 to 12 quarts of oil, so changing the oil unnecessarily wastes money. Stretching the oil change intervals to reduce costs is fine provided a high-quality oil (such as a synthetic blend or full synthetic) is used along with OEM quality oil filtration. With heavy-duty trucks, oil change intervals also depend on use . For light-duty over-the-road hauling, some OEMs say the oil can go 40,000 to 50,000 miles before a change is needed. As with the light pickup trucks, extended oil change intervals require a high-quality oil and good filtration . For harder use applications, the recommended service interval typically drops to 15,000 to 25,000 miles. Many of these engines hold up to 40 quarts or more of oil , so when the oil is changed it does have a significant impact on operating costs as well as engine durability and longevity. source: http://www.enginebuildermag.com/2014/05/diesel-engine-oil-filters/ a lot of factors to consider. |

anigbajumo: Eureka! At last, I get it. You make loads of money per truck, so it makes perfect sense to put your profits into a furnace, and watch it all burn. In the United States, long-haul rigs often travel through as many as 5 State Lines. As much as 8,000 miles in a single trip. If they followed your analogy, they would be carrying out oil changes on up to 15 rigs every 6 weeks. And very few end users would be able to meet their haulage rates either. It's not about how rich you are, it's about common sense. Bill Gates and Richard Branson are billionaires, and can afford to burn $100,000 per annum for the fun of it. But they don't. They would rather give twice that amount to charity. In your case, you would rather sink your money into a white elephant. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. |

anigbajumo: I'm not interested in haulage, my interest in this thread is purely from an engineering aspect. I'm not after any "trade secrets" (assuming they exist, of course). And if I was into haulage, you wouldn't be a threat to my livelihood, we don't live in the same country, never mind the same state. Still, I'm flattered to be conceived as a threat to your "empire", despite being over 7500 miles away. |
Re: Diesel To Petrol Engine by 9icetoo(m): 3:18pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
Anigbajumo I know a lot about haulage and it's my dad has been doing the biz even before I was born. He started off with Nissan uds, Bedford and like everyone else then, moved over to the mecerdes 911. He still runs the business. I doubt if you will be leaking any trade secrets by telling me how many kilos you average in a week. So I ask again, how many kilometers do you average a week when demand for your services is high. Do you know the recommended oil for your trucks and do you know the recommended change intervals? |

Well, this topic tho We have a Mercedes benz bus MB140D 2.9, production year 2005 and I don't remember us servicing every 6 weeks. I'm not surprised at the stands of anigbajumo, i had a conversation with a family friend and he said he changes his oil monthly on both his cars(camry 04 and 406). I tried to make him use recommended and service by milage but he was adamant that his method had made his engine last this long. |
Re: Diesel To Petrol Engine by jboixxx: 5:16pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
I argued on a related issue with my colleagues today @ work about changing of car engine oil (petrol running engine). Is it also not adviseable/recommended to service/change oil monthly on such vehicles too? What determines d servicing rate of a car(petrol engine) aside mileage? Cc: Siena, Ikenna351, Gazzuzz |
Re: Diesel To Petrol Engine by Ikenna351(m): 6:16pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
jboixxx: Change oil weekly? Your mechanic must be very rich. Good for him! Ikenna |
Re: Diesel To Petrol Engine by jboixxx: 9:57pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
Ikenna351:Sorry, meant monthly (corrected). Not me though but my colleagues. |
