It's one thing to endanger your life, but you're putting everyone on the road in your path at risk. Get a truck appropriate for your application.

I have two 3.5 Ecoboosts in the garage. I know the 5w-30 semi syn Magnatec produces some great results, but now that the bottle says full synthetic, has that changed?

I just bought 4 nest thermostats for my two homes. They are currently on sale at Best Buy. These thermostats are not only easy to install, they are easy to use and include expanded energy saving capabilities such as “home/away assist” which knows based on the location of your smart phone and...

Was this the first time the oil was changed?

Originally Posted By: Snagglefoot For me, you are already past my ultimate goal of 300,000 miles. Can you tell us anything about the oil such as the weight, was it synthetic and did you have a favorite brand? As you probably know fewer than 5% of trucks make it past 200,000 miles. If it was me...

I recently did this. It’s not that I don’t think Amsoil isn’t a great, if not the “best” oil, it’s just that the edge isn’t what it used to be and certainly no longer justifies the price premium.

Originally Posted By: KJSmith Looks pretty good to me. I wonder if they have adjusted the universal averages for the gen 2 engine. I'm coming up on 20k, just sent off my second sample. I was wondering that as well.

I don’t know how Toyota does this without excessive moisture and fuel in the crankcase.

Tows about 7k lbs. mix of stop and go and highway. 3rd OCI

Originally Posted By: Kool1 Excellent report! I'm curious what type of driving you do? Percentage of highway versus city driving and are you a leadfoot? Honda transmissions seem to do well with DW-1. Fiance’s car. It gets driven about 11 miles one way to work each day. Lots of stoplights and...

Over 32k miles
