: Oil change and observations

I just did my second oil change today at 14,400 miles.





I think i got 11.5 quarts out of it. For all intents an purposes, no oil usage whatsoever. Not adding any oil between changes.





Using the oil filter wrench that grabs the flats on the bottom of the
filter I got it out without a drop of oil spilled. I'm amazed how easy
an oil change is in this truck. Ten minutes. No spills.





I also noticed looking in the oil fill I could see an injector, Nice.
Easy to get to if I ever feel like playing. My old Dmax would have been
a nightmare.

How are you looking into the oil fill and seeing an injector? Gonna have to look into that hole close when it's daylight. Truck is outside with the boat in the garage. Priorities messed up.
