Just wondering how often you all change your oil. I have usualy changed the oil on all my diesels about every 5k. Im almost at that on my new truck. I havnt towed that much and have been running it pretty easy.
Also what oil are you all using in the dmax? I read somewhere it holds about 11 quarts? Thanks

I use Schaeffers moly 200 X dino oil,was using Rotella T in my 2 other DM's. I changout also at 5K--thinking of going to the FS-250 bypass filter to extend upwards of 30K with oil analysis.All stock DM's hold 10 qts.

Takes 10 quarts of your choice for the DMAX motor, also easy to change the Ally. filter at the same time with a oem Allison filter....Every 5K is good choice for changes....
