Ok guys,
So I'm over at my neighbors house right now and he's stated that his 2003 Dodge Caravan is having shift issues when the motor/weather is cold.
He can hit and hit the gas, nothing will happen. Then it'll jerk real hard into gear. Then trans acts fine when it's warm.
Sounds like the...

Will they mess up your system though? I know they...

After a year though. I just felt way too sketched out having the same oil in there for a year.
I usually go 4K on the RP in the truck....That's beating the manure out of it....
I'll gladly go 7K OCIs sole highway driving.

Any shipping restrictions? that's really the only thing I'd be concerned about

I don't understand why you would buy such a concoction. Its one thing to use up left over oil, but another to purposefully buy...
Cost and availability. What I will do is I'll head to a different WM real quick and see if I can get Edge 5QT.
I didn't think of that first sentence in terms of design parameters. Thank you a mil!
Ok guys,
I can't afford my beloved Royal Purple this oil change. Its been a year. I need to oil change my truck, I would say. Even with only 2000 miles on the oil, I feel it's time simply on account of age. (Albeit, truck did sit a bit in the summer)
Walmart didn't have my backup oil, Castrol...
My boss' Tahoe
6QTS ProLine 5W30 syn + BG MOA
Purolator Tech filter
My last personal oil changes;
My 98 Civic, ODO 193969 at time of change
Out; 4QTS Royal Purple 5W30 & KN Gold filter
In; 4QTS Castrol Edge 10W30 & KN Pro Silver filter (was broke)
Next oil change due 196969
My 07 Titan...
This is just my two cents - Diesel guys, correct me if I'm wrong...
When I had my Honda Civic, running (4) 3k OCIs on Royal Purple made my internals look brand new. Granted, this was on a 98 Civic with a D16Y7 that was purchased by my father brand new, oil changed every 3K with Castrol GTX...

None of the above
I'd go with a K&N Pro Gold filter from amazon.
they're usually $8 - $15 depending on vehicle.
I have nothing but good to say about KN. Very well constructed filters. I use/used them on 4 vehicles. Love the construction and wrench off nut.
KN Pro Silver is also amazing...
