I typically change the oil on a new engine between 500-1000 miles. This filter came off my 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 with the 2.7L Turbo engine at just under 700 miles.

I recently bought a 23 Colorado ZR2 which has the 2.7L Turbo engine and did a bit of research on the engine before purchase. So far I'm impressed with the engine. I was watching a YT video of an interview with one of the GM engineers that developed the engine. One of the comments he made was...

I ordered this filter from Amazon for my new Colorado ZR2. The can was dented so I decided not to use it. Amazon didn't want it back so here it is. Note the unusual box.

Here is a UOA on my Gladiator. I ran a 5w-30 because of desert heat, towing a trailer and off road use. The engine seemed to like it just fine.

Found the pics from the previous filter that was on the kid's Liberty. This one had about 6k miles on it. It looks better than the last one I posted but has a torn pleat.

Well this was a surprise. From my daughter's 05 Jeep Liberty. 5,000 mile run with 5w-30 QS Full Synthetic. Don't think I'll be using these any more.

Here is the second UOA on my Gladiator. Looks fine for a new engine still breaking in. I changed the factory fill at 500 miles. Second oil change was at 4,666. Currently running 5W-30 QS full synthetic.

This is the first UOA on my Ranger and the 2.3L EB. I sent samples to Wix and Blackstone. The numbers are actually pretty close. I noticed Wix does not do flashpoint and fuel contamination but do include TBN. My engine is not bad but I've found that these engines are tough on oil and suffer from...

I always enjoy these oil recommendation threads so thought I would add my own. I bought a new Ford Ranger a month ago. Since it is a TGDI engine my plan is to use a synthetic and 5k OCIs. Still trying to decide what oil to go with. It calls for 5w-30. What do you think? For those wondering...

This came off my Daughter's Jeep Liberty. Run was 5,200 miles with Rotella Gas Truck 5w-30. Looked like it did it's job just fine. Media spacing is decent. No rips, tears, etc.

Morning Gents, This is the factory filter from my 2020 Ford Ranger. It had 1070 miles on it when changed. I dropped the filter element in the sand so ignore any debris on it. Overall looks like a decent filter. A Motorcraft FL-910S went back on the Ranger with 6.2 qts of QSUD 5w-30.

I'm mostly curious to what others think. My last couple of vehicles I changed out rear diff fluids with Amsoil 75w-140 Severe Gear because they saw use in extreme conditions off road and towing a small travel trailer. They were both Jeep Wranglers with D44 rear axles with LSD. Worked great and...

Gents, Here is the latest UOA on my 3.6L Wrangler. It seems to be doing fine on the Rotella. For summertime use I'm trying a fill of Rotella 5w-30 and will do a UOA next oil change.

This is the second UOA on my 3.6L Jeep Wrangler. 9767 miles on the Jeep and 4679 on the oil. Looks fine.

First UOA on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler with 3.6L Pentastar engine. New engine but I just wanted to make sure nothing was way out of wack. Looks like it will be a good engine. Oil is Rotella Gas Truck 0w-20.

Here is how Rotella Gas Truck did in my Nissan. This is the last one for the truck. Traded it on a new 2019 JLU Wrangler.

I decided to go back to a Jeep and a couple of days ago bought a new Jeep JLU Wrangler. Love the Jeep. It has the 3.6L engine and calls for 0w-20 oil. I use my Jeeps for which they were intended. It will see hot temps crawling around off-road in the Nevada desert and occasionally towing a...

I'm in the process of doing changing the timing chain, guides and tensioners on my 98 F-150 and I'm surprised by how clean it is internally. I bought the truck new. For the first 125K miles I used M1 5w-30 with OCIs of around 5k. Around then I fixed a blow spark plug then started using 5w-30...

UOA on my 2018 Nissan Pro-4X. Looked pretty good overall. This is a young engine and these have an oil cooler so not worried about the copper.

Last fall I bought a slightly used Nissan Pro-4X. This has the 4.0 V-6. I currently have PP 5W-30 in it and I typically change oil every 5,000 miles. Hot temps are coming and this truck will see a fair amount of time off-road and towing my small I'm thinking of switching to another 5w-30 on...
