What did you do to your Ram today???

$28 for the 0W-20 and $20 for the 5W-20 is what I'm seeing. But I think the last time I got it (0W-20) was on sale and I got the 3 pack. I had to get the regular Platinum recently though as they wanted too much for the PUP when I was shopping. TBH, $28 still isn't bad. I still have enough for 3 oil changes though so I'll hold out. I wouldn't mind using 5W-20 either... even during winter I'm sure it'll be just fine. And if for some reason temps were below -20 I'd just hook up the block heater anyways to help it a little.

I really want to see that Valvoline restore and protect go on sale. I used that for one change so far and it was noticeably more quiet. All reports on that oil seem pretty stellar and I'm a long time PUP fan.

What sucks is I've been sitting on some 5W-30 for a couple years now and I can't even give the stuff away. Previous vehicle, asked neighbors, coworkers... no joy. Pretty surprising how many people don't even change their own oil that have the ability and space to do so.

maybe next time i go to MT to redo Glacier and Yellowstone Natl Park i can get them off your hands hahahahaha
and add Beartooth since I missed it last time due to road closure.

X that brake fluid procedure doesn't get all the old fluid out. I'd bet money that even after all that, the fluid in the calipers is still dirty old fluid. And that's the most important part to get fresh fluid to

Once the fluid is out of the master say a good inch it is never going back into the reservoir unless you force the pistons to full reset. It will not circulate back into the reservoir it straight deadheads into line/caliper and stays there. I know he would see dirty fluid if he actually flushed the system how its supposed to be done, but he is 59 after all and its worked so far lol...

Hell today I flushed the front brakes of a GSX750R today because the lever felt spongy. I got one big air bubble and a bunch of contaminated fluid. It now feel how it should.
