    Assyst -18000 miles?

    So...in case of a problem, for warranty you need to follow timed intervals and not use their own assyst system...now that makes sense :rolleyes: My diesel E350 went at least 30000 miles on Rotella conventional, with weekly makeup quarts, over 1,000,000 miles and was still running with zero...

    I was an expediter again for two days!

    You've got the time, and the equipment, look into being an independent. You could make a lot of drivers and customers haply while building up that 401k Didn't want to suggest it, I know how random your ability to work must be. It's free to check it out

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Oh the oil was definitely black...but I did not use a drop between changes... I saw some talk about MB going to 10,000 mile changes, that's part of why I'm asking...do they want money or do the engines actually benefit...

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Just a check in here, I chickened out and changed the oil at 16,000 (mobil 1 European 0w40) but it says I have 2000 miles left, which would probably end up being 4000...timed change or trust assyst? Oil analysis, I'd rather just change it...

    Thought they were bringing it...always keep my eyes open for the next van, but so far the only thing I see to replace the 2005 sprinter is a 2014 4 cyl...canadians need to deadhead cheap, I'm averaging 22 mpg mostly at 70 mph...
