    Changed the oil last night.
    [​IMG]
    Extending my interval gradually based on Blackstone TBN numbers. Last change at 5k miles, the TBN (essentially, remaining viscosity) was 4. Blackstone says >1 is desired. All other wear and chemical parameters were stellar for 120k miles. This change was at 6.5K. It will be interesting to see how the TBN is affected. Aiming for 7.5K interval, which is what the owner's manual prescribes for regular duty, and which is what my truck sees 90% of the time.

    :confused: I changed the fucking oil, Doug. Are you funning me? :notsure: Any retard can do it. Except maybe Krazie.

    On another note, I am still always suprised when I open the hood and it raises by itself. Oh yeah, I have Redline struts. Every time I open it, it's like a present.

    bfg at ko2, method double standard
    lol i tried installing some spacers on my truck today :anonymous:

    not sure what i was doing wrong but after i unbolted lower ball joint, strut mount and swaybar i couldnt get the strut in. it seemed like there was no way i was going to get it in because the lower control arm didnt go down far enough and i didnt wanna force anything. might see if i pay someone to put em in for cheap lol.

    any tips anybody?
