    They are not fakes. What makes you think they are not real?

    It's a secret
    The actual science for best oil-change interval is exactly 4,752.9 miles timed precisely during every 4th new moon. Instant vehicle malfunction or CEL if one misses that mark before OR after...

    Seems everyone on this thread does their own oil changes... I am still looking forward to my first oil change.

    I bought filter elementss, filter wrench, and a ValvoMax 'valve' at the stated 12mm x 1.25 (Similar to Fumoto) since I have a bash plate inderneath...

    Can you please confirm that the Oil pan Drain plug is a 12mm with a 1.25 thread? I took the valve out of tha package and it is 12mm which seems tiny for a drain valve...

    Cheers!

    M12x1.25 is correct.

    Interesting show. I'll add a little to the scenes.

    I change my oil at 5000+/- miles or 8,000+/- Km which ever comes first.

    Typically, I use Pennzoil 5w30 Full Syn and a WIX filter (preferred). Other options Quaker State, Valvoline or Mobil oil. Filter options, ACDelco, NAPA, Bosch.

    I used nothing but mobil1 synthetic oil and a mobil oil filter every 20k miles on my 01 4.7 tundra. At nearly 300k miles it still ran perfect.
