First. Thank you for letting me join. I have been viewing for years. It was time. What a great site!
Let's get started
Here are the questions. The manual says nothing about any king if break in. So, drive it just a little less then like you stole it for the first 500? Next, change at what mileage? In the old days, it was 500 miles. Pull the drain plug, cut the filter and review for problems, and look at the mag drain plug then wipe off. And last. 5w20. I am a Mobile 1 guy, but it does not have the Chrysler ok. I do think the extended does. I don't need to stay with M1, but want the best I can get and stay with it for a long time. Say 10 years. Am I crazy.
This darn thing is one bad ride.
Went from a 2008 Suburban LTZ 1500 with a 5.2 or was it 5.3. 110k miles. Good hauler (people). Could not tow much. No pick up at all. No mileage. Best MPH on our weekly 400 mile trip was 17.2. Not bad but......That was no wind, cool out,full moon,and you know.........the gods were in agreement. It was our 4 Suburban. The first three were 2500. 2 had 8.1 L with 3:73's and one with a 4:10 locker. That old girl got 8.5 no matter what where or why. Even what you were towing. 8.5 MPG. Towed a 35 ft Formula on a triple ax yep 8.5.
The dodge is wild fast. My right foot won't let me check the mileage. Too much fun.
We have a 2011 jaguar XJL. You guys know, the one that uses that crazy hard to find Castrol SLX.
My 20 year old son wants to do the quarter. HEMI/Jag. He wants the jag.......Will let you know what happens.
Again..... When for the first change?
Break in thoughts, and
Best 5w20.
This fourm is so cool.
Thank you.
