First OCI on my Goat

[OLEJOE]

Well I did my first oil change on my new truck. 3094 miles and 78 hours yesterday. Spent all of today cleaning up after it. Did the oil filter through the wheel well and with the filter plug didn’t spill one drop. Poured in 3 gal. Rotella T6 15W40. Uh oh forgot to put the drain plug back in. Pulled the dipstick out and not even on the stick. Was standing on an elevated bench and looked down and thought OH SHOOT!!!! Had to make a mad dash to Wally World and get 3 more gallons. Luckily I had already greased the front drive shaft. Anyhow I thought y’all might get a laugh out of that.

I feel like there’s only two types of mechanics/ people who work on their own vehicles... those who ha e done this and those that will do this.

I have done that once too, on my 2010. It’s not a fun feeling.

Well I did the same with my fuel filter last time I changed it. I forgot to close the pressure relieve/drain valve when I was priming the system back. Oh well live and learn.

Well I had to laugh about it. Crying didn’t help. I’ve done it 1 time before on my tractor. It only holds a gallon and I used an empty 5 gallon bucket to drain it in so no problem with overflow. My 4 gallon pan didn’t work out too good with 6 gallons going in it.

Yup- I know the feeling. Changed the oil, put the plug in and filled her up. Proud of the no mess situation. Started the truck and began to back up and heard this crazy sound......

Got out to look and apparently I ran over the oil drain pan and my cell phone...


Oh well- 2 bail of straw and a trash bag took care of it. Dropped it off at the environmental recycling place. UNBELIEVABLE.

Is Wally world selling T6 in 15w-40?

Cheers,

Yes they are.

Got the first two gallons for 19.97 and rest have been 22.37 if I remember correctly.

Truck sounds a lot quieter.

The oil that was in it had been in there for 2 years but only had 3100 miles.

It was the oil it came from the dealer with. I’ve only had it 2 months.

I feel better with the new oil and StrataPore filter.
