You change your oil every 3k in all your vehicles?

My car it really depends time/use. I had around 500 miles on it last time but the OLM was pretty low and I was going to do a track day so I changed it. Analysis came back fine.

My truck pretty much at the moment. The last 3K took 6 months to get to during covid.l and working from home.

127,500 Mile Service

10/07/2020

 

2015 GMC Terrain 2.4L

127,464 on the odometer

2,264 miles OCI (2,500 nominal target)

 

Purolator One  PL15436 filter

Royal Purple 5W30 5 quarts

 

Used about 10-11 ounces (hair over a half pint) this OCI for a math rate of one quart in 6,800 or so. This is it's best so far. 

Pulled a half pint sample for visual. Black and quite opaque. 

If Royal Purple is good for nothing else it is a great cleaner. 

 

Except under extreme use I find any consumption unacceptable in a 5K OCI but this is much better. If it cleans up to a point where is uses nothing in 2500 miles I will start lengthening the OCI again. 

 

Winter coming on so I lowered spec to 5W30 from 10W30 and tightened filtration. One v BOSS. There is no means I currently know of to add an bypass filter on this rig nor a catch can. Could use both.

Are you saying you don't know of a way to add a by-pass filter?  You can get a universal kit from AMSOIL.  Is the filter a cartridge?

65,463 total miles on the suburban

Sent sample off to Dysonanalysis to see how this sample did. This will be the second oil change at 14k.

The filter 'can' is built into the block on these motors. You unscrew a cap and pull the insides of a filter out. Just the element. No pad, no external piping or plugs I'm aware of. PCV is cast into the manifold as an orifice restrictor. A bastardized system if ever one I saw.

Yeah, I'm sure there is a way, but one that is not for the novice.

Nice!  It was only a matter of time I suppose that someone came up with an adapter.  Makes sense.
