I've always been one for keeping my vehicle as "Bone Stock" :)I'm learning the jargon :-)
I 100% agree.
BTW When towing I use synthetic oils with no additives.
So are we saying that we should only use Manufacturer Oil filters? Is this really practical?
How do I know a good oil filter from a bad one? same deal with air filter and other consumables. It's not always practical or economic to use GM, Ford, Dodge whatever parts?
One other related question? How good and trustworthy is the "Oil Life Indicator".
On my current GM Yukon, when I reach 3K miles I change the oil using synthetic but the change oil indicator maybe only indicating 50%. Am I being over careful and wasting my precious money, or should I just trust the oil life indicator more?
