I will also look into the intake gaskets in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for all the reassurance everyone! I am at the cottage now and I have about 1500mi on this oil, mostly hwy. I don't think it uses any oil?! I brought some QSGB 10w30 and 1/3 can of sea foam I had taking up space in the garage. I will change it before I make the 300mi trip home. The oil...

Not sure about your vehicle. I can tell you to spend the extra couple bucks for the genuine O.E. part. Maybe even the grommet too. Local machine shop told the had a bout with freshly rebuilt 1990's chevy 350's using oil. Turned out guys were putting in the cheapest PCV valve they could find...

Redwings are fine if you get the US made ones. Some are made in China. Thorogoods are excellent. They are union made in WI. Been around as long or longer than Redwings. $130 and up just like any other quality boot. I wear mine 60 hours a week. www.theunionbootpro.com

Wow. This is how the other half lives.

Skimming the responses...many of you took the words out of my mouth. Can not be factory fill if some knob stripped a bolt out prior to you. Metal screen or not, the time and effort was put in to drop the pan and change the fluid, why not spend a few extra $ and change the filter while your up in...

HM sounds good. I might try it in a different truck of mine too. What kind of oil psi do you have? I have a '96 that i run valvoline syn blend in. The only reason is the previous owner used full syn and i am too cheap for that.

I have always used QSGB with no complaints, but I have never really compared. Thinking about forking out the dough for QSHM.
