    Lube tech and porters are the lowest paid among the bunch, less than the receptionist.

    This. I have 2 interns that can't read a tape and did NOT know how to use a shovel to dig a hole.
    Yes. Really.

    Typical thread on the most common task for our Trucks.

    As I've written/posted in this thread, I've learned from other's mistakes which is the benefit of this subject.

    I mix and match, a 5qrt jug and a 1 qrt bottle. Got 5qrt jugs on sale (5 or 6 brands). Stocked up on 1 qrt bottles on sale also (3 brands). As long as it is synthetic and right weight, it goes in.

    It is true and please know that I mean no offense to anyone but I’m not sure why oil changes in general have become such a big task. I personally don’t like the cartridge filters but if you have the right tools and patience they’re not a big deal

    I try not to take anything personal...sometimes, it's challenging.

    It's good to walk away from the computer and collect oneself before typing something abruptly.

    I bet a 3 sided scale would really blow their mind.

    That was directed to @InThePlains, measuring out of the 12qt box.

    There’s nothing to measure with quart or 5qt containers.

    uh-oh - just make sure when you get it you put the O ring in the right groove - some dingbat on here screwed that up big time. Unbelievable how stupid some people on the forum are.

    I didn't realize the current generation Tundra twin-turbo 3.5L V6 engines went back to old school spin-on filters instead of the cartridge filters.

    I wonder why.
