Just for the heck of it if would you consider taking a pic of your oil and filter (maybe oil on a white paper towel to potentially see its condition)?
I was thinking of starting another thread that may be of interest to the forum, or could die right away... basically list along with the pic of the filter and the oil itself, if possible-
1) What Oil Used, How many qts, & Cost, where obtained, why;
2) What filter used, what cost, where obtained;
3) Time since last oil change,
4) Changed crush ring, drain plug (Y/N)
5) Changed O ring (Y/N)
6) How long it took you, use jack stands, ramps et...
7) Tips
8) Notes
Example
1) 7.8 qts. Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w-30, $60 Autozone, recommended oil
2) Mann filter, crush, $12 shipped, BAVauto
3) 8k miles since last change
4) No change on crush ring, drain plug
5) Yes changed O ring
6) 20 minutes with ramps
7) Use 16 qt catch pan instead of 8 to make less of a mess, drop cardboard under catch pan
8) Noticed the white goop in oil- looking into; saw potential coolant leak - looking into
Maybe this is of interest? Maybe not? Dunno. I'll post the thread. If you want to post I think it may be beneficial and you can be the first unless someone else happens to be doing an oil change and beats you to it.
