I just had the oil tested by Larry's system in the 300D 2.5. I ran it 13K and the soot was .9 out of 2.0 allowed. So you might be right, Pete, -maybe 20K. I know, we need to do TBN test also to run that far.
I agree with Curt about frequently changing oil-even with a top sucker, my time is worth something, esp. when I change it in my driveway with no garage. FWIW Dwight Dwight E.
