Using Delo Low Emission oil for this big ISX motor and
changing at 15,000 Miles as recommended...unless
I can find a shop that has Schaeffer oil...then the oil change intervals dramatically increase. I know some guys running 40,000 miles with filter change midway on Schaeffer without trouble...
but the average motor oil...ie Rotella, Delo...I can feel that viscosity break down on my fingers, and I can't trust it past 20,000 miles.

I run Rotella T6 full synthetic with Marvel Mystery Oil (winter) or Lukas Oil Enhancer (summer) and Hot Shots Secret Stiction Eliminator.... I pull oil samples every 7.5-10k, replace filters every 15-20k and still the oil tests out at near new levels when i change it at 50-60k. I only replace the oil for the spring and fall season changes. According to the lab that tests the oil, and has for all 700,000 miles I've put on this truck, the oil does not need to be changed. The test results show minimal deposit contents, steady viscosity and lubricating properties that are in line with the manufactures specs.
