That is awesome! Thanks for the feedback since it has indeed been over 13 years.

Just proof that the mud alerts work well LOL! I saw your post and figured well there's obviously still interest so why not post a long term update!

Did you change oil filters during those 12K miles?

When changing just the filter do you just have to be fast or will oil stop flowing after a bit?

Check out Brady adventures on YouTube and he shows great tutorials on stuff.

I took my filter off recently to get better access to an AC compressor bolt - lost a quarter of a quart only, that is about 8 oz., stopped dripping completely within a minute or two. No need to rush.

^ Exactly the reason I wanted to know. Thanks.

Holy thread resurrection! Dormant for 13 years.

No to high mileage oil. Yes to M1 Extended performance 15k oil - worth the extra few dollars on a 5qt bottle.

Kind of ironic that @lazarus18 resurrected it
