Diesel Oil Change intervals

[bajanut]

These are the specs for the Quaker State® Euro Full Synthetic Motor Oil, so it does meet the MS-12991 recommended in the Ecodiesel manual

Honestly. I can't believe people get into oil analysis pages. I changed mine at 7k just before a trip. If in fact it does blow for some reason I've got plenty of warranty left. I just have the dealer change my oil. I was told by the dealer that the Jeep wave program consists of 3 oil changes per year for 3 years.
I ran the piss out of my Honda Civic for 26 years getting all the way to 580,000 miles. Ran nothing but Valvoline 10-30. Changed the oil at 3-4k. Always drove that car like I stole it. She never failed.

Dude old honda engine is very remarkable, its over built in old days. No guarantee current honda products can make that kind of statement anymore...

I did my first oil change at 4800, the second at 10000 and the third one at 15000. I’ll be buying the Amsoil oil for my next oil changes. I plan to keep my jeep for a long lol. I want this engine in top performance.

Make sure you buy the Amsoil engine flush and follow the directions as it cleans the engine and gets it ready for the Amsoil oils. I used to be a dealer.

Do explain this "gets it ready for the amsoils"

Honestly, that comes off as a sales gimmick to spend a few extra bucks

No it's a proven fact that the flush cleans the metal surfaces to get it ready for synthetic oil to adhere to it. I have no affiliation with Amsoil anymore but I still use this flush when adding full synthetic to any engine I own.

Proven by whom? What prep of the surfaces is required to get synthetic oil to adhere? Why is such prep needed?

Emphatically supporting vague claims doesn't make them true. Likewise, saying "it's proven, it's true" is not proof.

Pretty sure we are all running synthetic oil already, so what are we spending extra money to get ready for ?

I'm curious how do you perform an engine flush? I've worked on engines from motorcycle to automotive and have never heard it.

Comes from the factory with synthetic already in it.

Yup. All 0w-20 or 5w-40 comes in full synthetic only.
