5.7L engine failure

Not 100% sure anymore, that was about 4yrs ago... but I know that the RP would turn black after less than 1000 miles on it. I honestly think it just wasnt lubing correctly, we tore that motor down and there was no sludge or blockages, only had 175k miles.

 

you guys are funny with all this talk about oil. I get a synthetic change every 5k from my local mechanic and move on with my life. I only do 5k intervals because The Truck is a dedicated off road truck. My lexus I do 10k intervals. I think the shop uses valvoline synthetic, but honestly as long as its a reputable brand IDGAF

 

We are between walsenburg an la veta. Family is living with us currently, there home is in cuchars. Fire is on its way to bigest in colorado hostory. We are ove 100,000 acres. We do alot of offroading and hunting in this area, very sad. I would love to get a hold of this jorgenson a@@hole. He needs to pay in the worse, horfic, possible way! By the way, he is in our country illegally!

 

That last pic has me very very jealous right now.

 

I got a buddy that owns a brakes plus shop, charges me $29 for an oil change on my 5.7, I do it every 5-8K miles, 185K on the truck. Dino Oil.

 

So they know who started the fire!? Time to call in the A-Team to find his ass

 

Before my bike got stolen, I used Shell Rotellla. My bike ran smother and cooler with no clutch slippage. I had issues with other brands like pensoil and honda racing oil.

 

Very good read! Didn't realize how many bases were available for "synthetic" oils, and that only 2 of them are purely synthetic.

 

I feel all those "Best" articles are biased - You can find one leaning towards whatever you want - here is on from an Amsoil dealer but has some data behind it.

Amsoil doesn't show up in a lot of them probably because it can't be picked up at the local store. Don't think you can go wrong with anything Full synthetic. I just don't like changing the oil so I prefer the once a year treatment.

 

Amsoil is a Multi-Level Marketing company, like Amway. I stay away from companies like that.

 

But they have damn good oil

 

Kinda like an oil pyramid scheme, but since its about oil its all good!

 

I agree with both of them. Lol

 

I bought some Amsoil for my direct injected bass boat and as I was pouring it into the reservoir, I saw chunks of congealed gunk come out of the jug. Had to pull the reservoir and drain it. Took it back to the retailer and never tried that crap again.
