Oil changes
It was time to change the oil - the car had about 8500-9000 miles and 10 months on the synthetic oil. The truck about 4000 and 9 months on the regular oil.
What a beautiful day, I got the car changed then the truck. Now I had found a fair amount of synthetic oil on sale over the last year, plenty of 5W30 for the car. I have some 10W30 for the truck but I also had got some synthetic blend last year that I was planning to put in the truck when I discovered I didn't have a filter. (I had it changed at Don's along with an A/C service instead). So I decided to ease the truck into synthetic and use up the blend.
Other than the extreme torque required to remove the trucks drain plug it was an easy job - lots of room and easy access to the filter.
Now I just have 9.5 quarts of additional used oil to dispose of. The truck takes 6 and the car about 3.5 (not all must drain out)
