Originally Posted By: Red91 FX4, this is a bit off topic, but did you happen to see what the gas alternative is in the heavy duty F-Series trucks? Is it still the 6.2 modular V8, or is there another engine? I thought I'd read where the 6.2 was either done after '15, or is done in '15. Well...

Looks good, other than that seam.. Is that the blue truck in the background of one of the pics? I'm with BlueOvalFitter.. Pics of the add-ons!

Very good job on all three of your roles. That's a very nice thing to do for somebody. It may not seem like much to some but at least she won't have to either: Never change the oil(lack of funds) or trust the cheapo lube places to do their job correctly.

Originally Posted By: Red91 The one quart of 5W-30 would not have hurt a thing. It would have been fine. You guys are way too anal. End of the day, a Mercedes engine is still an engine very similar to the ones calling for 5W-30. You could run 5W-30 conventional oil as the fill for 4K-5K OCI's...

This right here is a fantastic idea! Thank you I'll definitely be doing this. Even if I just end up doing it when she gets back from wherever she it at least I'll always have the stuff in ththe car ready at will.

Believe it or not, I couldn't find the specs in her manual. Once I saw the oil I didn't want the hassle of buying more and returning the old stuff so I was hoping to find something on either spec or weight and I looked under every page that had "oil" or "engine oil" listed in the glossary and...
