Those guys who run synthetic + bypass filter + extended oil changes always have this kind of issue with them. All those guys who run their ISX's like that complain over and over "Why does my overhead cam keep getting chewed up?"

I know of 2 people personally who keep running their engines like that, one of which is running the amsoil syn + extended, who has gone through 3 cams in less than 700k miles!. The guy lives down the street from, and has been completely brainwashed by that crack-pot salesman who hangs out and sells the s$it at Jubits truck-stop. The other guy had just eaten through his second cam in 600k miles (not the first one,.. but the second one) now, and has to put a 3rd in too. - I tell him the same damn thing! and I get the same damn response --- "That can't be it" -- Yet all the evidence points clearly towards it!.

-- First,.. I tell them that if what they are doing is superior,.. The engine would never wear out because mine, and about 1,000 other trucks I have seen running REGULAR OIL do not have that issue, yet 80% of EVERY TRUCK I HAVE SEEN where someone is using syn+extending oil changes --- HAS THIS PROBLEM!.

You tell them to stop running that synthetic + extending their oil changes, and that it costs them more in replacement cams that the few bucks they save on oil changes,.. and they will only still ---> argue back and tell you that you are full of it.
