A Dirty Word... Oil

[gooser]

10-4 mr mopar I guess the reason i do it is bacause it is bulk oil and i figure since its free my truck never sees dirty oil .Ihave been doing this for 3 yrs now.The other thing is that i got tired of telling them at lithia dodge that they over fill all the time so as soon as i get my truck idrive 1 mile to my house and take abbout 2 to 3 quarts out .Im guessing newer trucks take more oil than my 99. so in ayear ihave about 12 quarts saved for other things like atv- lawnmower-dads chevy:drool:

Must be the same deal as 12v's. 1994 ones used 10 quarts and 95'+ used 11. First time I changed it I was a quart low, listened to a 1994 guy

And the 3rd gens take a full case or 12 quarts!!!!

I have amsoil everywhere, even got the PS fluid changed out last month. I run the AME 15w-40 and have been getting good results. Should get 20K+ out of this change.

Running Amsoil throughout as well, except for the tranny. It calls for 50 weight ATF that would be used in an Allison automatic. But the last time I picked up some synthetic lube at FleetPride, their own brand that is more like a gear lube, the guy at the counter said' "every one is using this in their trucks". It shifts just fine in all temps, quieted the gear box down, and it offers more lubricity then the ATF. The only drawback to that Fuller Eaton is you have to buy the fluid in 5 gallon pals, so I can get 2 changes out of it any ways. In the engine, I use the 15w 40.
