I know this is not a usual Barth issue but, I have a(new) Cummins with 3500 miles, the manual calls for the first oil change at 15000. I'm thinking maybe 5000. Rusty, bill and all what do you think?
Thanks
I really respect your opinions

Modern machining techniques pretty much eliminate need for the old "break-in" period. That said, I've heard somewhere, "Oil's cheaper than metal".
