My 06 has 85,000 on it . Oil has been changed every 2 to 3 000 miles . Overkill ? Yep . Do I regret it. Nope .
@danw.18787 ай бұрын
I do my 06 5.9 at once a yr or 3k doesn't matter which comes but she gets fresh oil no matter what at either. I have the Amsoil bypass filter and I still do it that way. It's my money and that engine isn't cheap. With 203k I have plenty of life and I intend to drive it was years! That 6spd is always fun to drive!

@dannydyer99617 ай бұрын
293,000 on my 06 6 speed. I have been doing Amsoil extreme every 12k, it is supposed to be good for 25k. I do a new Donaldson Blue oil filter every 6k, and a new Baldwin fuel filter every 2.5k. The pervious owner had it changed at a garage, just cheap oil and filters, but every 3k. I don't think you will find an engine with this many miles any cleaner

I’ve had mixed opinions on oil color. Some people say it should be black because it’s grabbing all the soot and if it’s clean then it’s not doing it’s job. Obviously we there’s some validity to it by theory on what the oil is supposed to do for these trucks

Your vid was very informative , Thankyou. I noticed the ccv is deleted, but the filter is not gutted. Why did you not gut the filter? I did the delete to my 2012 and gutted the ccv. Is there an advantage to leaving the filter intact, rather than gutted.
@lucasfallert40312 ай бұрын
I thought the main reason for deleting it was just to keep possible oil from entering into your intake. Not sure what benefit would be from gutting the filter?
@andymike65753 ай бұрын
I run Red Line full synthetic and an Amsoil 2 micron bypass filtration system. With oil analysis I can easily get 25,000 mile change intervals. Soot that the full flow filter doesn’t catch (between 2 and 20 microns) is what causes wear in a diesel

Can i suggest that you use a inch lbs torque wrench on the valves this way you know all the valves are the same and also when you’re tightening the jam nut leave the feeler gauge in. That’s how I do my valve adjustments, been doing it way my whole truck mechanic career.

@mikeb63003 ай бұрын
@@200130769 Using a inch lbs torque wrench. Find an inch lbs that you are comfortable with when doing valve lash, and when you find that torque spec. You use that torque for all the valves this way all the valves will have the same valve lash. When tightening the jam nut would recommend using a tee handle Allen wrench and a box end crow foot to torque the jam nut

Riddle me this. Do you change your oil and filters every 3500 miles? cause thats possibly over $1000 in oil changes every year. I run Rotella T5 15w 40 and do my oil changes as the truck requests . Black oil in a diesel is due to blow by. Introducing a catch can will help but Not sure it solves everything.

Your oil life is dependant on the type of oil you use. Synthetic last quite a bit longer and can run up to 10,000 usually

Are you using full synthetic? Do you burn oil? (If the the latter you have blow by so extra soot is getting into the oil)
@jed3219 Жыл бұрын
I'm no expert but you could try doing an oil flush next change to try and wash out more deposits, as I understand it just get cheap oil to fill up on after dumping the old oil, let the engine get to temp and flow the cheap oil around, then change that oil too and put in fresh full synthetic or whatever your preferred oil is. They might make oil specifically for flushing that might pull more stuff out but I've never tried it.

@jeffreyyeater1780 Жыл бұрын
Your oil is probably dark as soon as you start it . Dont worry about . Just change oil every 3 or 4 thousand .mines the same. 06 . It has to do with the EGR SYSTEM . They set up the cam to keep the exhaust valve open for a just a millisecond while the intake valve is opening . Thus suckig some exhaust gas into intake valve to be burnt . This causes excess soot in oil . Im sure other guys could explain better but thats what Ive heard about it .

Valve clearences are overlooked on alot of engines not just cummims. To loose induction timing is not right. To tight burnt valves here we come.😂 As far as service intervals go oil & filters are cheap compared to rebuilds. Sooner rather than later wins everytime.

Question . What is the purpose of rotating 360 after adjusting valves. Thanks
@JeffinTD Жыл бұрын
At top dead center between power and compression both valves are closed (and ready to be adjusted). At top dead center between exhaust and intake stroke both valves are slightly open in overlap, and there should be no valve gap.
@powerwagon37315 ай бұрын
The crank rotates 2 turns for every 1 turn of the cam. Therefore turning the crank 360 degree’s rotation positions the cam lifter on the base circle of the cam allowing you to adjust the other set of valves. Maybe I missed it but there is an access plate to the flywheel and using the proper pinion gear tool you can rotate the engine with a ratchet turning the flex plate or flywheel.

You don't change oil because it wears out, you change oil because it's dirty. Extended oil changes are insanity. Great marketing though. People will believe anything.
