Life expectency of stock diamond drive

[MBHC]

Just wondering how long your stock Diamond Drives are lasting on boost ?
1. How much boost ?
2. What year DD ?
3. How many miles ?
4. What oil?

Wow thats alot of miles. How much boost? What generation of DD, and what oil do use? Anyone else out there have a fair amount of miles?

I bought my sled from Brad Story and it was boosted since new.Its an 08 m8 with a OVS kit on it.It was his daughters.I got it with 2000 miles and now its at 2650 all ive done is changed the oil once a year

dd

I've got over 3000 for sure. 2008 m8 for 1400 miles probably another 1600-2000 on the 925 kit so 3000ish miles. Never had the boost below 10. Usually have it at around 12-14. Had it at 18 today for 30-40 miles. I can't remember the exact name of the oil that I use I'll look when I get back to town it's not cat oil.
