    Just changed engine oil - at 510 miles.

    I'm running the Amsoil dual remote setup which is a full flow (with probably 4x the element size of factory, 6.75 long and 3.66 diameter) plus a bypass filter that filters much finer than any full flow does. https://www.amsoil.com/bypass/

    Basically what tidefan1967 said. I want to run Amsoil but I wanted to run the factory fill oil for a few changes first. It's probably not necessary because modern engines break in nearly right away.

    Amsoil BMK23 UNIV Dual Remote Bypass Sys Improved Racing adapter but I don't remember which one. https://www.improvedracing.com/universal-billet-remote-oil-filter-take-off-plate-configurator.html The filter mounting was totally fabricated.

    Very little metal on the magnets. The remote full flow filter is huge compared to the stock one, it would take a lot for it to bypass. Plus there's a bypass. Filled with the Pennzoil again, one more time before switching to Amsoil.

    Changed oil again at 5617 miles. The oil has way less sparkles and the shop towel looks much cleaner.

    One Chevy feature I’ll miss - Auto 4wd

    That's an old farts fable. I had our Power Wagon to 100 mph in 4WD on dry pavement a couple times when it was under 500 miles.

    I'm going to change the trans fluid early too. Just haven't decided when. The pan has at least four magnets in it, and the filter is part of the pan. So the pan has to be replaced. I think that's intentional, so the magnets get replaced. https://www.ramforum.com/posts/2401909/

    I want to break in the differentials good and proper before I change the oil in them.

    That's what he made it sound like. Either Ford or the dealer.

    You should add an LOL to that. The 6.4 has a lot more metal than a 2.4. One advantage of a report filter setup is less mess. I know there is a fancy funnel thinger for the filter, but it was still slop city, I had oil on the side of my head and glasses from changing the filter.

    I work with a guy who got a new Ford a few years ago. Changing oil at 500 miles was the recommendation. Thought that was interesting.

    This subject can be be like discussing religion or politics, haha. It's mainly food for thought, and I reserve the right to be wrong!!

    I had this Power Wagon to 100 mph in four wheel drive, and to 5500 rpm many times. I've learned from dyno testing that engines shed the vast majority of break in metal in the first few hours of run time. Best break in is to lay on them like a dyno test. Anyway many particles smaller than 20...

    The hoses are high quality USA made with steel AN-10 ends. The adapter is billet USA made by Improved Racing. 1/2" ID is maintained throughout. Zero lag in start up pressure, and there was no change in running oil pressure. I've used AN hoses for 15 years dyno testing, and have an Amsoil remote...

    The factory installed filter came off easy. It's tiny. With the new setup it took nine quarts to fill to the full mark.
