Did u knw wat makes me keep on argue wif u,u said "No manufactuer wil even recommend 4x service 4 any vehicle in a year".......Let me enlight u bro, if da economy is good nt dis tyme wen da rate of importation of goods has fallen due to falln in Naira...If da economy iz good nd ther is high demand for goods from western to eastern syd or to d north.A truck like 12 tyres (man disel) will gain at least 130k a week after paid for (fuel,driver nd motor boy) nd if dea s no damage......if u gain 130K a week pls hw much is jst 20K evry six wks for service jst for ur vehicle 2b in good condition.......(Diesel engine vehicle)

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.

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.

a lot of factors to consider.

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.

Bros bros awfa na, nothing do you. I like you as you gallant wella. Howfa na, I fit dey supply una trucks original engine oil and filter o.

Just tell me the type una need and the time una need am.

You na correct business man

lomomike:
Gazzuzz, smartchoices, collossus. CityNG, sultaan et al Come see o! Make una come learn how to go about wasting money servicing diesel engine every 6 weeks.

This is act 1 scene 1.


Spreads mat cos this is gonna be one hell of a long argument

CityNG:


I don't do diesels but if I did the oil w I'l[b] l get changed every 6 minutes.[/b]


On a serious note, please think about the environment and stop changing oil unnecessarily.

jboixxx:
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 weekly on such vehicles too? What determines d servicing rate of a car(petrol engine) aside mileage?

Change oil weekly?

Your mechanic must be very rich. Good for him!
