I remeber something about less then 30mph average is considered extreme duty and engine oil should be changed more. I guess it never gets up to temp to clear out the water in the oil and other contaminents. I would guess a good way to tell would be to keep a record of the hours per tank with the over head and then adjust the oil changes based on how the truck was driven the last few tanks.

I'm 47449/1794hrs. 26.4mph, I never let it idle, I just drive a lot of 45-50mph roads around here. Glad I'm using paint stripper(PowerService )to keep my injectors clean.

109681 miles and 3169 hours, 34.61 mph. I guess that would be good for all the Houston traffic that I sit in. Someone said 10,000 hours before rebuild and I hope they are correct. That would put me at 346592 on the odometer. I would be really happy to get that far.

Well you figure big ag tractors can easily go for 10k hrs without a rebuild and thats at full throttle usually. So if our trucks aren't at full throttle 24/7, then it sounds like they really are "million mile" engines.

Just found this thread.... didn't know you could get the hours... I love this site, full of neat stuff 
Mine is 79,922 and 1873 hrs = 42.67. I will take that, I usually do a weekley 800 mile round trip, and very little city maybe 50 per week.

Now it was a wild display, if you are pressing the trip odometer reset button when you switch the key from Off to run,(non-start).
All the gauges tested, the tach ticked all the way over and back, speedometer did the same all warning lights came one. It was wild, Tokyo saturday night.
