What did you do to your Ram today???

Changed the oil and filter yesterday after getting home from trip dirty bike riding, I got home with 5200 miles on the last change which out of quinidine was 50200. I used a full jug of POP and 2q of PUP. Then I moved my tool box from my old job to my new job today but I didn't take a pic.

POP= Pennzoil Platinum?
PUP= ?
I should know but I'm brain dead at the moment
 
Yep until now I have only been able to get POP at both of the walmarts I shop at. The close one 11 miles only has POP the further one 15 miles now has PUP. Not to get into a debate about oils and such but my engine starts to make noises I dont like at 5k miles. I have probably at most 2 months to change my oil agan on a 5k and it will be all PUP. Then I can see it it makes the same noise after another 5k to determine if its worth the extra cost.

Availability is the only thing so could think of. I've never seen PUP in any local stores around me.

I used PUP for the first time right after I bought the truck. I think I bought it from Walmart and a Mopar oil filter from Amazon.
This was the first oil change I've done to it so I'm going to change it around 3k miles before going more mileage.
I finally got the driver side bed cleaned up, but does anyone know the part number for these clips by chance? They hold the fender flares on.
What are some common fasteners used on these trucks I'll break in the future? Trying to be prepared 🤪

Did an oil change. Trying out the Valvoline "Restore and Protect" 5w3.
Tried out a new Fomoto barbed attachment. Makes connecting a hose to it SO much easier!
Changed out my thermostat as well.

I need to find somewhere to send a sample for analisis to, besides Blackstone. They have a long turn around time.

I did a change with this previously and it was buttery smooth sounding. I'll probably use it every couple changes. Expensive. Like, Amsoil expensive. But it was noticeably quieter. And I think Fumoto started shipping with those attachments pretty recently. The ones I had for previous vehicles never came with any attachments and this time for the RAM I got two different setups included. One is an angled barb and the other is a straight one. Two hoses too!

You can buy them in bulk on Amazon.

What are you doing? Swapping the flares? Was there also adhesive and if so, how fun was that to remove lol. I'd like to take mine off and reseal them. Factory did a very poor job around the bottom corners from what I can see and comparing models like the Rebel, the adhesive looks much better on the black plastic flares than it does on mine.
