NO WAY JOSE! I'm at 31 Idle hours and 15,000+ miles. I would guess it counts down % as my milage goes up so that 0% and 15,000 miles intersect no matter the loads I pull, altitudes I drive, hours I sit on the freeway or summer/winter blends of fuel I burn... another idiot light.

looks like you took care of the issue though

Guess you could always start making pennies:-laf

Ya, I just checked them out and ordered a kit... I'll test my oil at about 10,000 miles from change date. Curious to see. So whatcha' gunna' do about your results?

31 idle hrs. and 289 drive

Some guys say they change theirs every other oil change. I will heed your warning and change my oil and all filters when the trucks count down is near. anybody know where and how to go about getting a sample of my oil tested? If the oil is shot before launch, the longterm performance will be...

WHOO HOO! I'm a believer! (nice pic) I don't so much mind spending money on preventative maintenance as I do on repairs. So let me ask... How reliable is the "% life remaining" gauge in my truck? Should I be changing the oil before. Is this 2017 3500 that advanced or is it just bells and...

No doubt I'll replace them both thanks Bob - for some reason I didn't think of the H2O separator as the preliminary filter before it gets to the engines filter... No wonder it was so clean, all the black stuff was in the separator that I couldn't see in. And Newsa, good advise to change early...

WOW! 2 years 13,000? I bought my truck in March and I'm over 15k in L.A. traffic. So the Dino oil will last just as long? My truck said I had 7% till oil change then I put the Valvoline in it. From my understanding there's no sensor testing the oil, it goes by milage.

Hey diesel heads, So some of you recommended that I change my water sep. and fuel filter when I do my oil, and I did, but my fuel filter is almost as white as the new one I put in. Now, I live in California and we have lots of diesel fuel turn over at the pump. In the city, diesel doesn't sit in...

They didn't have any Valvoline synthetic on the shelf.... Weird

Ya, I was expecting 5-40. They didn't have it on the shelf so I asked and they brought it out from the back. Felt like black market shenanigans.

I just put that Valvoline 15-40 in my truck. Maybe I'm a sucker for advertising but it states on the label the only synthetic endorsed and recommended for Cummins. $18.99 a gallon... Did I fall for it? or is that a good oil?

The first time I looked at amazon it said they didn't fit the vehicle in my garage but once I put in the part # amazon changed their tune and could have saved me 30%

I know... I paid about $140 at Geno's I could have amazon'd it for $87. Thanks RClark - better late than never.
