I noticed same this this weekend off-roading, it lets you shift or shows that you went up a gear to third or 4th but the rpms didn't drop because I don't think it actually shifted. Id have to let off gas and slow down for it to actually shift into 3rd or 4th. Even then the rpm's stay around...
Its usually a good thing and useful for an offroad vehicle to have a lowed geared low range. There's definitely a time and place for 4lo. Not everyone will need it, and most of the time while off-roading 4hi has always been low enough for some hill climbing, definitely better for mud and sand...
What else would you call those jackasses that put in plastic oil pans on a offroad truck, hoods that are so thin they rattle down the hwy, jackasses that say stupid stuff like lifetime trans oil, 10k oil changes.
I suppose we could call them "dennisd"
Reasonable assumption if you believe the bean counters. However this has been debunked in a few different ways. As discussed in previous posts the truck will adjust the pressure to the oil you are using. After switching to 5w-30 my truck did indeed adjust to same pressures as 0w-20. I...
I said it was Rhetorical, if you guys must I can start a vaccinated democrat thread. That way your peace of mind isn't disturbed by the threat of learning something new or challenging your uncle who back in the day called it pensoil. The thread will be a safe place for those who are afraid of...
Please enlighten us on other quality options with fact based oil analysis vs. back in the old day's we called it pennsoil.
Rhetorical.. I'm thinking that's the best you have to offer.
I always thought that of Pennzoil also, but looking at all the oil analysis's on the Ram Power Wagon the Pennzoil was showing to be one of the best oils for that truck. Thats when I started using PUP on my PW and had great results with it.
For the PW Mobile 1 wasn't even a consideration...
I went with Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic 5w-30. It has the dexos 1 rating which is supposedly specced for turbo's by GM. I used the PUP in previous vehicle which I really liked but thought id give this a try. Depending on how it works out I might try redline which I used to run in my...
This isnt why I use 0w-20 Dennisd thread, this is 5w-30 post your oil analysis thread. Post any oil analysis. The more data the better!
So 0w-20 is cool Dennisd but if you want to contribute then post an oil analysis, short of that we got that your gonna use 0w-20 because the manual tells you to.
Everyone gets to pick their own poison, DennisD has subscribed to this thread so hopefully he will post some 0w-20 oil analysis so we can compare and analyze what's working and not. The last 0w-20 analysis I saw was at 20k miles and was showing increased or more than average wear.
