Well I changed my fuel filter today and checked the cdr it just looks like moisture coolant level is the same. It was 10 degrees today when I started her should I let it warm up before driving I'm used to driving my 7.3 were I would start her and just take off and go and not even let it get warm.

The second oil pressure comes up I load the engine. It heats up faster under a load. And with my poor IP it starts to hit all 8 with a load vs. idle. I didn't say WOT - just a load and being easy like about 1/2 throttle to get them all hitting...
Some kits have a suction gun and some plastic hose to take a sample through the dipstick tube. You run the hose down the dipstick and suck oil out for a sample.

I plugged mine in tonight on a timer for the morning I never tested the heater.

I just read at BITOG, Napa sells Wix Oil Analysis kit for around $14. You just have to pay the postage to send it in.
Now, somebody also said that they may have a fleet oil analysis kit at the Napa store but you have to ask.
I have also heard that the Caterpilar shop can do oil analysis also very fast.
This is another option in addition to Blackstone, and others.
