    2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Serviced

    Sounds like you’ve taken excellent care of your vehicle. I’ve always thought that if you’re getting good service and the work is excellent price to some extent is secondary. Someone I trust and does good work is always more important than price.

    2020 F150

    Agree on all fronts. Truck was a fleet vehicle that basically saw all highway miles. Have bought several trucks like this and they always run good with little to no problems.

    2020 F150

    Update - ending up purchasing it. Have bought 20+ vehicles from car salesman and dealership over the years. I always take one home overnight or even for several days. Once had one for over a month before buying! I like to go over them in a lot more detail than just giving it the once over on the...

    Sticker on the windshield and the Carfax seem to indicate it was around then.

    2020 F150

    Buying a 2020 F150. About 65,xxx miles on it. Really good price. Dealer let me take it home over night. After doing a thorough inspection in my garage, it looks like last oil change was 16,xxx miles ago. Dipstick is showing hardly any oil. Took two quarts to bring it back into range on the...

    0W-20 in 5W-20 Engine

    2020 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 with 5.0L. 60,000 miles on it. Can I use 0w-20 in it when it calls for 5w-20? Have a lot of 0w-20 in oil stash for wife’s car, and was curious if this would work without causing any issues. Daily driver. 20 miles to and from work. A lot of highway miles. Light...

    Mobil 1 AFE

    Thoughts on Mobil 1 AFE 0w-20 for a 2015 Silverado 5.3? Local Costco has it on sale a good bit and with rebate, it’s pretty darn cheap. Thanks.

    Trans has about 46,xxx miles on it. 2015 Chevy 5.3l with the 6 speed. Truck is a daily driver. Occasionally tow a 7-8k pound load about 200 miles. Trans temp runs about 200 degrees. Is this ok? Should I drop pan at 50k and replace fluid and filter? Thanks for the thoughts.

    2015 Chevy 1500

    Great points and I completely agree a shorter ratio would be much better. The odd thing is the 3.42 is rated for something like 11,000 pounds and is their towing ratio. I think stock in this model year was 3.08x. I do use overdrive while towing and trans temp and engine temp all stay in a pretty...

    2015 Chevy 1500

    That’s correct. The 3.42 is actually the towing rear end. The 3.08 was stock. The 3.42 is rated for something like 11,000 pounds.

    2015 Chevy 1500

    Just purchased a new to me 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. Has the 5.3L engine in it with the six speed tranny and 3.42 gears. Love the truck. I have been running Mobil 1 AFE 0w-20 with a AC Delco PF63e. Truck is a daily driver, but tows around 8,000 lbs about once or twice or month around 200...

    New F-150 2.7 EB recommendations?

    Great engine. I have the same one in my f150. I have good results with Magnatec 5w-30 in this engine. I think this engine really is about mileage intervals. I would recommend 5,000 mile intervals. As far as letting dealership do it, I would say it depends on the dealership. Mine I have known...

    Oil Viscosity Question for Ford Explorer

    I normally change the oil in my vehicles myself, but I hurt my back and can't right now. I took my 2015 Ford Explorer with the 3.5L V6 engine to Walmart today for them to do it. The car calls for 5w-20, but from the receipt it looks like they put 10w-30 in it. I am in a hot climate (south U.S.)...

    Oil for 2015 Ford Explorer

    Hello BITOG, Long time reader first time post. Was wondering what oil to use on my 2015 Explorer? Manual just says to be sure it has the starburst rating? Short trips with the occasional trip. Really just has about a 12 mile commute everyday. 3.5L V6 (is not the eco boost)
