As for my questions, I was curious if you guys actually follow the whole, change your oil every 6 months recommendation.

I changed my oil January 15th at 2,900 miles.

It has now been 6 months and the truck is only at 6,900 miles.

Is it a complete waste of money and oil to change again?

I'm not afraid to spend money to maintenance the truck right, but at the same time I don't like wasting money either.

My second question is, does anyone here run Mobil1 TDT 5W-40 in their rigs? TDT was an oil I really liked to run in my Powerstrokes but I have not really been able to find anyone talk about it on forums for the 6.7.

If not, what oil do you guys recommend. Has anyone used a particular oil for awhile and had oil analysis done to show that said oil is a good choice.

Sorry for the "noob" questions, and thank you in advance for responses.

I plan on keeping this truck a long time.

I also plan on becoming a platinum member when I decide to make the truck run "right".
Welcome!

I change mine once a year or 10k whichever comes first.

I have been using Royal Purple full synthetic 15W40 in mine since new but have been considering trying out the Hot Shots diamond brand oil.
