I have two CRD's. Both have run Rotella T-6 5W40 since I have owned them. One has racked up over 100000 miles of my driving. Coming up on it's second timing belt change. I have always changed the oil at the FSM interval of 10000km (6200mi) with no issues. Oil is relatively cheap when bought in bulk so why scrimp with extended intervals? |

Isuzu C223 diesel? If so this is an exact copy of a question posted at http://www.isuzupup.com/viewtopic.php?t=18467 back in 2013 so why is it being asked again on the KJ CRD forum? I have no clue what oil and/or oil change interval is recommended for that engine. A 3,000 mile oil change interval was a standard back in the days of single weight non-synthetic oils and today is only recommended by those in the business of making money out of frequent oil changes. I suspect you could extend the interval to say 5,000 miles assuming your driving is not limited to short in town distances BUT that's a pretty old engine series so if it's high mileage on the block staying with a short interval might be prudent. An alternative might be to invest in some oil analysis while extending your change interval to see what's going on. |

It is a newly registered spammer trying to legitimize their account. They are either a bot or don't speak English, so they can't generate fluent sounding posts on their own. Hopefully a mod will see it and ban them. |

I have worked on offshore oil rigs. Every mechanical engineer I know runs their diesels and motorcycles with T-6. Yes it is approved for wet clutches! Find it on sale at WallyWorld and don't think twice. |
