Haha I just didn't want to clean the mess up that would've come from doing it myself, otherwise I would've done it. But I'm glad I brought it to an upholstery shop, it came out a lot better looking than it probably would've if I had done it.

Changed the engine oil and filter.
Havoline High Mileage 5w-20 and a ST2 filter.
Total cost, $3.



I still want to slap the people that put the oil filter where it is at. Why do only 4wd models get the filter relocation?

Personally, I trust new oil vs high mileage. What kind of filter is a ST2 ? What are doing to your truck blup.

Right , those remote systems are great. You could go rob one off a JY truck. Have you looked ?

ST2 = Supertech filter from Walmart. made by Wix, equal to a Napa Pro-select or an O'Reilly Microguard filter.
Cost like $2.75 for the filter. Oil was free due to a Amazon product description error. I ordered 3 5 qt jugs, they sent me 6 1 qt bottles. I told them of the error, they said they would send me 9 more 1 qt bottles (15 qts). I again received another 6 1 qt bottles. Contacted them again, they said it was an error on the site and the product was taken down till they could fix it, and in the mean time, I could just keep what they had sent at no charge.

I have not looked, nor even been to a junkyard in about 5 years, not worth the hassle. Maybe one day if I every get around to going to one I may look. I have a small list of things to look for if I do (license plate light, seat mount cover for back seat, filter relocation kit, seems a few other thing as well).

That should be a pretty cool build. You definitely made great power out of the 2v so the 4v should be a great NA power plant.

On my truck I don't have any issues where the oil filter is in the side of the block. It's easy to get to and doesn't make much mess.

You got a new truck?

Carcrazygts2

I'm sure. Hopefully wont have to be pushed as hard to make similar power. All I know is 4v parts are pricey

What is this relocation of which you speak? Mine is screwed on at the side of the block.

Im not sure I trust the ST filters. Yes, they may be made by Wix today, but the could change tomorrow, as could the construction/specs. WM can change vendors on a whim with no indication that the product itself is now different. Only Motorcraft filters for me.
