I use Delo. It was 11 bucks a gallon at ealmart last week. I get my oil filters from cummins. I like the statopore ones. Geno's garage is a good place to get them if you need them mailed to you. I do commando oil changes in parking lots all the time. I don't want anybody touching my truck I don't know.

I don't want anybody touching my truck I don't know.

I heard that... Personaly if the plug isn't out for at least 2-4 HOURS I'm not happy... I want to give mine all the time I can to allow it to dip in the bucket so the oil change is fresh as possible. Now I've done a few rush oil changes and found my dipstick just as black as after the change as it was before the change... :doh:

So if I can I'll pop the plug out at night and let it drain all night long if I can and then put the plug in and load it up...

Delo... Sure that whats in my truck now! :smart:

I bet you checked the dipstick twice before you even started the engine to leave right? I'm the same way about just getting tires... I'll stand out in the cold/rain/snow watching at the door frame as they do the tires. While there back is turned I sneak a quick look at the brakes and haul back out the door to watch... Guys at the tire shop know me rather well... :lol:

Just get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and drain the oil into it. Then the oil filter just keep it straight and it won't spill and just dump it into the bucket. A little might spill but not too much. Then cap off the bucket and take it to town, I think all the auto parts stores have a oil dump in the back, just ask them to show you to it. Or find a guy with an oil burner that would love to have it lol.

I worked at wal-mart for 2 years, not once I had my oil changed there. There are some... I don't know if you wanna call them tech's, but there are some that have more common sense than others. While I worked there, word would get around about customers returning cars back because of oil consumption issues. Turns out some of these guys, were not tightening down these filters on tight enough to where a few days later over pot holes and bumps and what have ya, they would come loose.Like I said some of these guys you really gotta watch out for, and some are actually attending a trade school for automotive or diesel while working there. I went to school with a few, and I've heard stories.No Wal-mart for me thank you.

On the fleetguard filter it say right there on the filter "After the filter makes contact tighten another 3/4 of turn." So I mark the lip of the filter with a permanent marker on the lip facing the firewall so when I finish tighten the filter the mark should be facing me at the passenger fender. Then I know if the filter is getting loose or other wise...
