    Based on the results Blackstone recommended reducing the milege by 400 miles. I am going to reduce by another 1,000 miles just for a little insurance. This means I'll be changing oil at 13,000. The reduction of 1,500 miles will onlly add one additional oil change in the next 130,000 miles and...

    2000 GMC Safari All-wheel drive with 164,000. Dropped pan, changed filter, added 4qts, then took off return line to transmission and flushed remaining fluid out. Took another 8qts to get clean cherry red fluid. Used NAPA Dex III.

    I changed from a stock GM filter to K&N at 30,000 miles. So the K&N has been in about 33,000 miles. I haven't cleaned it. I have blown it out just to knock out the bugs that seem to find their way to the filter. I live in a dusty area so the filter must be doing the job.

    I didn't add any make up oil. If I remember right the oil level was in the middle of the dipstick.
