Burning oil? Have they fixed the 5.0 motors yet. Mine was a burner from the start. After the flash of the cpu seems to be better

I changed my 2020 5.0 a couple weekends ago for the first time at about 3,400 miles. I checked it once at about 1,100 and again right before I changed it and it was right in the middle of the hash marks both times. I've never abused her, but I let her stretch her legs now and then lol.

Although you just opened the door for someone to start selling winter nitrogen.

THIS is what I bought

PERFECT!
i ordered some ‘cause mine is sticking.....THANKS!
