I went to the Rotella T and actually I do it every 200 hours but I also change all the filters. Now most change the filters anyway but I have seen some that would change oil every 100 hours and the filters every 200 hours. Why? I don't know. but another thing I do is cut open the filters and stretch out the paper element and look at it visually and then run a magnet under it to check for metal. I try to make a record of how much metal is detected and reference it the next time. What the magnet will do is make the steel and iron filings stand up so you can see them. Now a sure thing that you should be concerned about if you can read a part number, find out what is broken or getting ready to fail. Just some things I do. LarryT
P.S. By the way I now run the Rotella T in all my equipment and I have had real good results. It is a real stable oil and will tolerate viscosity destabilizers ,like small amounts of fuel and other thinning agents and suspends contaminates and carries them right to the filter.I really like it.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
