Hi guys,

I have a couple 5.9's and I am wondering how often to change the engine oil.

Manual calls for 12000 kms iirc.

I have always tried to get in around 5000 kms, but do I really need to do it that often?

I run caseIH No.1 15w40. Trucks mainly used for running to site and back morning and night. Site is 45 mins away.

Thanks for your input.

Ken

I change the oil in my 5.9 and 6.7's at about 5000 to 6000 miles, I'm not sure how many Km's that is.
