Tell Me to Change My Oil?

2005 Kioti CK30HST.

Changed engine oil with the older Rotella Synth 5-40 at 42 hrs June '06. Oil looks/smells new. Now at 105 hrs.

I am somewhat of an oil fanatic but somehow I don't want to change it.

Tell me I should?!...

Dont. Youre too far away for me to come get it.

According to my math you have 63 hours on that oil. My owners manual states oil changes every 200 hours. I generally change at 75 hours with the regular Shell Rotella. In normal use I fail to see any reason not to go 150 hours on the Shell Rotella Synthetic. In this case the time factor starts to come into play, I would probably go ahead and change it.

I changed it, I knew I should, but needed encouragement.

2 yrs.

Used same synth 5-40 rotella with a little moly.

Going by oil color is, um, worthless; unless you are superman.
