I don't start mine up and let it warm up. I usually just get in and go. I will start it up and let it run till I hear the engine idle go down.
I know that on atv's and side by side's at the bike shop we have to change the oil in the stuff we pull out every day about every 2 to 3 months. Because with it being fuel injected it has automatic chokes and idle. It contaminates the oil with gas where it sits and idles a lot. And the gas breaks down the oil properties a whole lot faster.
Wow. It doesn't make any sense to me why our milage is so different. You are using 0W40 also correct. I have been using a Purolator filter that had a sizable larger capacity. This new filter is the stock size. And it's about half the size and the Purolator I've been running.
It was listed in their parts catalog (advance auto parts) yes, it held about ½ - ¾ a quart more oil. I'm not sure on the part #. It's listed as Purolator extra guard or extended life filter. It's just bigger on the outside diameter and longer.Interesting. How did you arrive at the larger filter? Is it "approved" as a replacement filter? Do you add extra oil on the oil change? What is part number? And finally, did your research show other brands same size but larger?

Newblack we both have megacabs shouldn't be much of difference,
I would too. I asked mine to show me what they use. And how much per quart and 5 qt jug. That's another reason why I change it myself. I can't see paying $90 when I can do it for $50. And it only takes 20 to do it.I wonder if my dealership is doing something stupid, and not using the right oil. I'll go in there and blow up if that is the case.
Look on ya receipt it shows what oil they use, there was one guy on here that had checked his and they had put 5w20 in his ****, dont remember who it was but id diffently check ya papper work

Did I read correctly that they are calling for 0w40 oil in the new 6.4's ?
