I stand corrected. Thank you Mr. Craig

 

Relocated my UG today

 

How are you holding the wire up out of your line of sight

 

Tucked up in the edge of the headliner with my remote start's receiver wire

 

what mount is that? i like that spot a lot

 

Suction cup mount.

I'm not sure i like it yet. I had it in the same spot for so long...

And i hate that the suction cup is so visible from outside the truck.

 

might be making a flagpole run July 19 (saturday)

truck has changed a lot since you saw it there last year

 

Looking good Zak!

 

I am way late to the oil filter party but the factory oil filter has been PROVEN to be the best filter... Youre honestly stupied for thinking anything else... There Rw so many threads debating on which is better and from my readings I can say the factory toyota filters are the best and the only thing that have gone in my truck.

 

Honestly, after all the research i did i may actually install a bypass filter setup, because 20k oil changes are fucking amazing

 

Yeah oil is not meant to last that long... Even if it still has all its lubricating properties thats 5x as long that the oil will be in the engine... If you replace every 4K normally... I go every 7500 with my 0w20 synthetic... So itd be almost 2.5 times as long for me... Oil breaks down after a while... Thickens up and gets gunky...

20k for me would be a bit less than 2 years I say 20 months

 

I change my 5w30 conventional valvoline every 3k about twice a year.

 

You do 6000 miles a year?

 

Well, its 20k with oil samples sent off every 5k to a lab, and if the report comes back saying it needs to be changed it will be changed.

 

about 5-6k

 

Spend money to send it to a lab or change it every 5k... Id rather change it and just be safe... Youll kick yourself for not replacing it ever 4-5 k down the road...

 

I've put like 14200 on it since i got it. So all it 7k a year. Thats two oil changes a year. If i had it on synthetic, i'd change it every 5k.

 

You need to drive more!!! Get out more often
