[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 441780, member: 21038"] Well, I like to think that I'm not a dummy, but I was a Marine for a while and now a firefighter/paramedic. I'm not sure if eating crayons and running into burning houses is too smart. I use those schedules, both severe and "normal" as a baseline and adjust as I see fit or as my oil analysis suggests. And yes, both these Jeeps see a lot of Off pavement use and water crossings in Oklahoma and Arkansas, with the XJ also doing duty as my daily driver. The CJ2 not as much as it's a big logistical operation to get it out of the local area lol. Don't really have issues with intrusion, but it's not that expensive or hard to change out when you're not using 40 dollar a gallon lube. I also do regular lube analysis, which most people would consider wasteful, but I like having the historical data of what my oils are doing or any potential failing internal components before they fail, such as many hours from home. [MEDIA=youtube]x-Gfb1k6BMI[/MEDIA] Not my channel but I was on a trip with this guy and he got some shots of me. Both crossing resulted in 3 or 4 inches of water in the front floorboards.
