We ran several Yanmars for generators and used Baldwins on them mostly.

I have used Lucas Red N tacky and an #2 lithium based EP general purpose from Lubrication engineers that were both "red"

Not sure on the 3500 but the 2500 trucks I have worked on from that era also had one under the drivers seat.

Its has the 3.8 liter minivan engine. No other engine options that year. It has less than 45k on it but its been flawless in 10 yrs.

I am going to drop the trans pan and change the fluid in my 2010 Wrangler Sport. When I have it off I would like to add a drain plug for future maintenance, does anyone have a recommendation on a reliable one to install and is ther a specific area of the pan thats best suited ?

We never fought with them, they are too cheap to waste time trying to free up, replace it and move on. If the joint itself was clogged we shot it full of PB blaster, put the fitting back on and pressurized it with grease then noted it on the maintenance report and checked it the next time.

Just picked up another 2 jugs yesterday for the sale price, dont really need it but it will probably end up in one of the kids vehicles.

I saw a sale ad starting April 20th that it was $3 off the 2 jug package, making it an even better deal.

Around here its priced the same as gasoline. With E85 offering less MPG and more frequent oil changes I cant see any reason to use it.

When I had my 07 I ran the tires at the pressure on the placard. I dont figure I am any smarter than the people that designed, built and warrantied the vehicle and the tires.

I ran it in my 05 Silverado for 150,000 miles with zero issues. The pump was undersized for the added weight of the diesel so GM suggested using Synthetic PS fluid. I used dex 6 at a 1/3 of the price. The majority of our fleet at work used ATF. We even had one that was spec'd for 15W40 diesel...

This is where having an agent that knows you personally is so important. That person should be the one answering this question, not a bunch of people on an oil discussion board.

I have had a couple of brands over the years that got flying lessons about 50 ft down the driveway. That way I dont stupidly put i away thinking it will finally work correctly next time.

With all the millenials residing in their Moms basements we should have definitive proof of Radon's effects by testing that age group in 20 yrs or so.
