Another raised hand - I also use Larry's service. I've started having
the oil analyzed in all our cars - and extending the drain interval.
The last test on the 300SDL with a little over 10K on the oil returned
a soot level of 0.6%. At that rate it seems like the oil could stay in
there forever,
E week is over Don!

I assume another aspect of longer oil changes is the filtration system?
MB has a good setup, what about GM with the spin on filters? Is that
setup agreeable with extended changes or not?

I don't konw that the filters do much to remove soot -- could I guess
- so I'd have an analysis done to find out.

mostly 617.952s. 1 601, 1 602. You know that oil analysis is the only

Wait ... let me understand ... you drive 15K miles between oil

Kaleb,
Every engine is different, so if you want to do extended drains, you
should at least do one or two oil analyses on the engine in question.
Like Marshall said, the 61x engines may produce more soot, at least
mine did. Johnny B's don't but he's probably the exception, lol.

If you're unsure of the filtration system, and/or the filter is teeny
weeny, just change it every 5k or so and top up with some fresh M-1.
For non-MB cars, I really like the KN oil filters:
http://www.knfilters.com/oilfilter.htm
A friend told me of centrifugal filters for big diesels. If the
powerchoke
didn't have 252k on it, I'd consider one for it.
Those sound pretty appealing to me. I'd want two, though. One,
modified, would be on top the roof of the car as an antipersonnel
measure.

Im with Marshall on this one. I tested my new 603 engine 4
times and at 5000 miles I came up with 1.8% on the soot with M1 and the way
I drive.
Just as a point of reference, before I changed to M1 I was using
Delo 400 and was changing at 2000 miles and in all those tests

So, I'm curious. What sort of a filter setup did you use to clean the
solvent in the parts washer? I have one that gets to settle each winter. I
should drain it in the spring and scoop out the grease that will have
settled to the bottom. The thought of a filter however is interesting.
