Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

HAHA epic

 

Good luck man trying is the best part lol. Doctors told my wife when she was young she was super fertil so we've always been super careful to not get pregnant until we were ready. I was nervous as I knew if we had trouble it was gonna be my fault but guess I'm ok too lol

 

Thanks man

 

Congrats Jon!

 

Just figure out what @tacomgee and @DannyBFresco are doing.

Then do the exact opposite.

 

There are hot springs here and there as well.

 

Safety Third! Congrats dude!!

 

This made me laugh pretty good. Congrats dude!

 

Unless you’re using a DAGR.. then you won’t have signal either way.

 

Right on man!

 

Oil change this weekend what oil do you guys like / run?

I know everyone has their own opinion just curious

 

I run Liqui-Moly products and factory filters.

 

I stock up on Mobil 1 when it goes on sale at costco. With an OE filter. Total is around $35 after tax.

 

I've been using mobile 1 high mileage synthetic my last few changes, seems to do well, and Blackstone labs agrees, says i can run it safely for 7k miles between changes.

Also, congrats!

Edit - also, what @Kelvin said, I only use oe filters.

 

same. Blackstone said my engine was flawless at 150k and could go 12-15k intervals but im good with 10k. I will be sending off another sample at 200k and see if anything is askew.

 

I know I'm late to the party, but congrats man!

 

Think the 4.3 UZ would be any different? I’ve got 8k on my current oil

 

i think it all depends on what condition the motor itself is in. I changed every 7 until my lab reports. then jumped to 10k intervals. Oil visually looks the same

 

I’ve run Mobil 1 and Castrol. Not sure if either made any difference but usually go with pricing and rebates. Castrol Magnatec is $17 for 5 quarts through Amazon, not a bad price at all.

Castrol 03057 GTX MAGNATEC 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil, 5 Quart

$43 Castrol GTX MAGNATEC 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil, 5 Quart

90k on this one. Doubt it was ever beat on in its lifetime. I usually change every 5k but I’m being lazy this time because I want to do the timing belt, oil coolers, fluids, etc all at once.
