This guy mentioned a follow-on test which he has not posted. Not sure how many folks send use oil out to test to determine wear but the geek in me is considering it.
While fun\interesting to go down the rabbit hole which I have done I figure K.I.S.S is the way to go changing every 5K. I use the factory filter but I do spend a bit more on for the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.
I will echo some others. Take her out and see what the trails tell you want you need to do. After making a few trails, then going to Moab and doing a Hell's Revenge and Fins & Things, I opted for a lift and skid\slider upgrades. I will be at EJS for the first time this years and plan to...
I am a new owner of one and noticed an improvement even at the low setting I think I am using. I can hear well enough to tell about many clicks, but I don't think I am halfway.

I have the 35x12.5 and hit 8th on the freeway most of the time but it does drop lower if an inclined or headwind. If I go to 37s my thought is going 4.88s based on driving lots of miles before going off road. Also after listening to Rory Irish and his issues with 5.13s that cemented it for me.
