I changed the filter the first drain and fill at 20k. 25-30k for the next one. Double drain and fill with some driving in between. Probably won’t change the filter again until 100k. I have a PPE pan with a drain. Iirc I get about 6 qts out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe dealers DO get paid to fix anything found in delivery. Now their warranty rate is lower than their shop rate so they do make less on warranty work. Still, no excuse to not check IMO. At my old business, we ran into a quality problem with one of our computerized tool manufacturers. I...

I would agree with this 95% of the time. There are however some instances where a pad change can improve performance to some degree. I had full sized GM suvs for about twelve years. Brakes were underwhelming but I didn’t want a big brake kit as I was on business 3 year leases. I ran an upgraded...
