Hello everyone!!
Seeing as I have some free time next week, and the fact that I want to do an early first oil change, I did some shopping today!
Picked up PYB 5w-30 SN, and a Mobil 1 EP filter.
Now before everyone jumps on my case about this, I know this oil is not Dexos approved, which is what my vehicle is specked for. By next week, when I finally change out the factory fill, my truck will have 6000km on it (just shy of 4k miles) Anyways, I plan on running this next oci about the same length give or take depending on when I have time, again a little shorter of a run to clear break in metals. Now the reason I'm not worried about Dexos spec, is this: I receive monthly on star diagnostic emails with my OLM percent remaining, along with estimated change mileage. My first change is estimated at about 14,000km. By then I will be dumping the oil for the second time already, not the first. So even though I'm straying from the Dexos spec, I still believe I'm doing my engine some good. After that, I will stick to Dexos oils and follow the OLM. Just want a few shortened runs at the start.
Anyways, a snapped a pic of the oil + filter. Enjoy!
