There was a post the other day, someone had worked out their average speed over the life of their truck, turns out it was like 30mph or so...
This got me thinking, was driving the 05 f350 today, and while fueling up though i'd check engine hours and distance driven, 295k km (184k miles and change)vs 4800hrs equals 61.5 kph average speed (38.3mph), seems fair to me.
But the manufacturer seems to want oil changes at 5000 miles... ok, but that is only 130 odd engine hours.
How come my tractors can get by with oil changes recommended at 200hrs for the one and 250hrs for the other, when the truck wants one at 130hrs???? I know the truck runs more boost, but it has an intercooler, so truth be told probably runs cooler too, all spend most of their working time at approx 2000rpm.
Are we being ripped off? Or is their some "fancy" reason for it... Somehow i think the tractor engines will outlast the truck
