The one that came from the factory has been changed to a new part number. It is also a thinner filter media. Dealers will not stock the factory PN, nor will you be able to order it from them. You may find them online at random stores, but they're quickly disappearing.

true, but to be fair, people that buy RR's are simply idiots...

This would be a 100k vehicle, before the dealers added 50k to the msrp...

The game changing game changer I made was the changing of the game to do nothing, total game changer of a changing game game changer move, lowk...

I don't care, so I just use the local drive through car wash.

either way, 6.10 is way too close to a 16 than I'd be comfortable with. I'm not willing to trust mine with water... But, it's your truck! GL!!!

That’s essentially what I did. Will absolutely never use 0w20 again though. wow, you essentially had 0W 16 by the time you changed the oil. That’s not a very good indicator of whatever brand you’re using maintains viscosity well.

I actually completed the break-in period, which I decided was 13k miles, before switching to 5w30 ESP. I wanted a clean baseline of data before making the decision to change. I’m technically on my first oci of 5w30, and running a 3k oci from here on. Yeah, I saw the video from Lake as well. It’s...

I went 5w as I live in Houston, Tx. The likelihood Houston gets to -35f is, at best case, almost non-existent. However, 5w has been used in many platforms for decades in colder environments. If cold flow is a necessity or real time factor for you, 0w isn't a bad option. It just doesn't make...

The viscosity sheer is what led me to move to 5w30 ESP. You don't need to wait until the warranty is up though. International manuals, specifically Mexico, indicate 5w30 is perfectly fine for an alternative viscosity. While fuel dilution is the typical culprit most think of, it's more than...

Wow, viscosity almost in the 0w16 range… and only 1300 miles

It's normal. Supposedly, the first position is an "aerodynamic sweet-spot" to eliminate air buffeting. Hit it again and it opens all the way. Same on mine, and I imagine all of them

wow...trash color again! first it was heritage blue and everest. Now, it's this disgusting spicy mustard from the local chinese restaurant... whoever decides the color change must be colorblind

ours has the sunroof because the wife wanted it. Otherwise, I'd be in the same boat as you. At 6'4, my head just barely clears the roof by maybe half an inch-ish... Hopefully they stick to the agreed upon terms, but don't hold your breath. Discounting the trade is absolutely a trick they'll try.

Yes, mpg gets better when you avoid speeds above 65. We all know that. I think the issue with going 65 on highways is that's it's almost always 70+, which essentially turns you into the guy that's holding everyone up lol. Perfectly fine as long as you're in the slow lane though!
