Just changed the Ram's engine oil... I ran this oil about 6500 miles -
Mobil 1, 10w30, bosch filter... its the oil I had in it since before
the BBQ, and the oil that was in there whenI was towing. Its not all
Mobil 1 - I had to add some Havoline synthetic on the BBQ trip because
it lost some oil somewhere. I don't like to let oil go this long - I've
just had no time to change it. Its been said that you can go that
long... I personally don't like to - even with Mobil1 I prefer to do a
change at about 3500 miles - considering how I drive I figure its worth
it. But I think this 6500 interval was too long for the oil. Anyway...
I noticed a few things when I was under my truck - giving things my
normal "while I'm under the truck doing the oil I'll inspect everything
else" inspection...
I'm leaking oil from the front crank/timing cover seal again. damn. I
had that seal changed under warranty back about 35,000 miles - now I'm
at 55,000 and its leaking - thats about a year or so since. /me pissed.
Oh I also noticed a couple other things... like a green snorkle ziptied
to my bumper behind the passenger side fog lamp... I noticed that a
while ago when I went to check tire rub...
I also noticed a green flipper zip tied to the side of the fuel tank,
and one zip tied to the spare tire...
(shakes head)...
LOL
