Whoa whoa whoa!!! Slow down Trucker66, if you still have the mandate YOU NEED TO INSTALL A BYPASS OIL FILTER LIKE YESTERDAY!!!

And the bolded part of your post ABSOLUTELY NO FRICKIN WAY!!! With a mandated engine, the absolute MAX you should go is 10,000 miles between changes. Less depending on your fuel mileage. Thanks to that 20k on a fresh inframe, you've already begun soot packing your rings, oil galleys, and everything else in your motor already! A new motor or fresh inframe should have the oil changed within 6k miles. A fresh engine always has some debris, filings, silicones, and other abrasive junk in it that you need to get rid of ASAP! And that doesn't even include the initial wear & seating of new parts, that by the way are never perfect, hence the term break-in.

Simply put, you are destroying your motor with your maintenance program and if you don't read and do some research on this site, you will be doing another inframe shortly.

I don't give a rats @$$ what Cummins says about 20k drain intervals, they are in the Parts Sellin Biznezz and they don't care about you, your uptime, or anything else but your wallet.

Read, read, read...you have much to learn young Jedi

***edit*** I'm sure Rawze is typing as I'm doing this, but I'll help anyway. I don't want to see you destroy that nice new motor

Don't gloss over it, read it and understand it...if you don't understand it, ask for help to understand it. Not getting it the first time is ok, it took me reading a certain document 4 times thoroughly and probably 15 attempts to complete it, but I assure you...I KNOW what I am doing to my motor, and more importantly HOW & WHY

Good luck, happy reading...we'll wait for more questions, we know they're coming ;-)

Oh, and please tell us you're not using this crap! It's ok, I used to too...I'm all better now!
