I just bought a 2003 Excursion with a 6.0 PSD and LOVE IT.
I'll be installing an Amsoil by-pass oil filtration system.
How often should I change the oil? 5k miles OR......should I have the oil tested and make a determination for the oil change based on the results of the test?
Which oil should I use- synthetic or the conventional oil?

I would suggest running both types for a few cycles. Run a few cycles of synthetic and at the end of the 2nd one, send it off for analysis. Do the same for conventional and let them tell you what the change interval for each should be. That way you can make a financial decision.
