Changed the oil and added factory skid plates. This is my first on k2, and damn - thats a lot of oil! Im gonna need a bigger boat. Does anyone still sell 4 qt jugs anymore? 2 would work out nicely. I still have 2 qts of new oil in 1 jug which left me scouring my recycle bin for the 3 extra qts of dirty oil. Also, whos the dbag that designed the angle on the filler neck? Had to stand on my head filling it up - time to go funnel shoppin. Finally, this is the first time I noticed a marked reduction in engine noise after a change. The Rotella Gas Truck is the ****...

Pics of plastic vs metal skid setup. There are actually 2 narrow plates under the plastic as shown, so its not as weak as I thought; all metal is better though...f3915cfc870e01c61d8c87b0081a68f4.jpg215e678962a02edb3e60bd2357bfe8d0.jpg07611daa834517321bd1b2b6a720be66.jpgf717cdece014c3e82707eb15fe1b349d.jpgc59eb9b247512e34496adca784044722.jpgce9dcfbb7020d880cd2bb48cb0d67928.jpg

I like these Z71 skid plates, although the transfer case one is there more for an audible warning than actual protection. Plenty good for my application nonetheless.

What weight of the Rotella oil are you using? I'm switching to Mobil1 AFE 0w30 (Dexos certified) in a few thousand miles.

Standard 0w20. I got a hell of a deal through TSC for $18 a 5qt jug with $10 rebate. Didnt expect it to quiet down the engine. Check this out...

Shell has a better product than anyone, same with the gas; shell premium gas has seven times more additive than all others combined.
Online videos have proven that.

Not specific to shell but to top tier gas in general.

Trigger warning: consumer reports uses science.

I like to mix it up, between Costco premium and any other name brand, I really try no to stop and those gas station with a crazy name or vice-versa
I had a terrible experience with a Wawa in 2014. It cost me 1,200.00 after I fill the tank with water mix with the gas.

I always buy top tier fuel. Plenty of top tier stations to choose from in my area.

Thank you, good info here, competition is king. Personally, I prefer shorter oil changes (5000 miles or 200 to 250 engine hours on a full synthetic), and I think both oils would do good in those conditions. YMMV.

Removed my custom stereo system in hopes of trading it in for a Suburban or Yukon XL.
