Son in law said his FIL always changed the oil (diesel specific but no particular brand) every 3k miles and used Wix filters. I had several K&N filters from my previous duramax so I use them. I am sure the engine will outlast me as I don't daily drive the truck, just for hauling.

It will out last you, tell the injectors crap out. The LB7 is the worst for the injectors and it's an expensive job. The ones in my 03 had just been replaced when I bought it from the dealer 6 years ago. Lots of guys get well over 150k out of each set in the LB7s though.
