I am getting ready for the 2000 miles to Branson and back. I just looked at the log book and realized, that I changed the engine oil this spring as usual, but not as usual, we have put over 9000 miles on and still have year left. I only discovered this because I was about to add a third quart. (Not bragging, I didn't build this engine.)
I am running M 15-50 with Moly (no longer available) and I am wondering if I should bother to change it the oil before departing for Branson. Mobil says it is good with it and that is without the MoS2. I am trying to decide if I should not just leave it alone and change the oil in the spring like I have the past seven springs.
What we do to engines and vehicles in testing does not relate to real world in situations like this. Engines get run 22 hours a day and lube oil is changes out on a schedule. Vehicles accumulate mileage so fast that lube oil changes would be an almost continual process.
I am thinking I may change the lube oil out just because it is less expensive than engine work....
