I use Mobil 1 10W-30 And change it every 12k. At 6k I change the filter or mid way.

 

With the way I drive (ever been chased by the cops? It's kinda' like that. lol) and seeing the color of my oil on the dipstick after about 5 or 6K there's no way I'm even attempting 12,000, even with a mid-oil change filter swap.

Did the magic key trick and it worked great. No more ding ding.

 

Good to hear about the fix. And I, too, wouldn't approach running my oil to 12K. I run Syntec 5w/20 with a K&N Oil FIlter and change every 6,000. Out here in the desert, yet coastal perfect climate of San Diego and with our trips out to the actual desert (we have a place in Lost Lake on the Colorado River about an hour or so south of Lake Havesu), the heat wouldn't let me go 12K.

 

Ya I hear you on the simi to extreem conditions but back and forth to work on the highway the oil on the dip stick is still near gold at 12k.

 

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! I was out fishing this weekend since its season opening time for walleye and pike...caught some nice ones! Took a few shots with my boat. Suprisingly enough, my truck was awesome on gas...I was running about 18mpg going up and 19mpg coming back! Here are the shots...in case your wondering, yes, it is snow that you see hehe! Here in Canada, you never know what to expect!

Enjoy!

Ours just did the chime thing today at 5500 miles. Did the "reset" thing and now it's all good. Thanks for the info.

 

Welcome to DF MAN! Nice looking truck

 

Way to represent, don't let that Titan pull the boat! Nice truck, looks clean.

 

Thanks a lot guys! I sure as hell showed that Titan what my dodge can do hehe! He was doing like 14mpg hauling a boat same size as mine...plus, I smoke the crap out of him on the quarter mile hehe!

 

Waaaaaaahhhhhhh. I want a dual plug 300 hp 4.7! But I've gotta keep my stick, too.
I guess it'll just be cheaper to SC my stock motor as soon as it's paid for. August 2010! Woohoo!
