Happened to me twice, and I yelped both times. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Thanks, OLM is good, just under 50%. I'm not psychotic about oil changes, but again, the general consensus seems to be to lean towards more frequent changes.

Hoping I don't start a war, but I have a legit question I'm slightly torn over. It seems like the general consensus is to be a little more frequent with oil changes on the Hemi 5.7L from what I've read. I currently have just under 5000 miles on the current oil, relatively easy miles, but...

I do my own oil changes and didn't keep receipts, largely because some of the oil was purchased a while ago. But I have photos of each change complete with 10sec videos of the oil coming up to pressure on the start up. Hope that'll suffice if I get in a pinch. Knowing my luck, it won't...

Valvoline FS High Mileage 5w-20 and Fram Ultra

That blue is awesome.

Stripes. Early 80s movie with Bill Murray and Harold Ramis (Egon from Ghostbusters) when they did everything together and were still friends. They had a falling out during Groundhog Day. Anyways, it's a cult classic, stupid as all get out, but if you like Bill Murray, it's hilarious.

Not to be confused with the OP who basically doesn't know s***!

YOU GUYS, I LET MY ENGINE IDLE! FOCUS! THIS IS ABOUT ME! Kidding, please stop fighting, and thanks to those who helped and pointed out the error in my thinking.

Glad I was wrong - I missed that in there. Thanks for clearing it up. Def. rather be wrong in this case.

2021 manual page 136 "Engine Idling - Avoid prolonged idling, long periods of idling may be harmful to your engine because combustion chamber temps can drop so low that the fuel may not burn completely. Incomplete combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings, cylinder head...

Which is the reason for the post... I mean, it says it in the manual -- don't let it idle for long periods. I don't think I destroyed the engine, but at the same time, it kinda sucks to know you made a mistake.

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't own a car/truck. Or anything nice. So my kiddo (6yr old) LOVES airplanes. We drove by the airport today and saw one take off up close from the busy road, and she got so excited - it was awesome actually. Well, I pulled off so we could watch more, and when she...

Just putting this out there, even though I know a few threads have been started already. In 6400 miles, I have had two instances where I’ve started the engine and heard the 5 second clatter. The first was at about 1500 miles on the factory fill and oil filter, and the second was on a Fram...

I wouldn't think so... it's the 3.5L platform they've had for years now, not the Supra engine, right?
