    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!!

    Just changed engine oil - at 510 miles.

    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...

    Just changed engine oil - at 510 miles.

    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.

    Just changed engine oil - at 510 miles.

    Here's the dual remote installation. I hope the sway bar disconnect won't hit the filters, we went hill climbing and there are no marks. It's not as close as it looks in the picture. The big diameter filter is a fine micron partial flow filter, the smaller one is the full flow. It's about twice...

    When I cut filters open I roll them on a couple layers of blue shop towels. This is what they looked like.

    This is the oil from the spin on filter housing after I cut it open. I was kind of surprised by the amount of particles suspended in the oil.

    Just changed engine oil - at 510 miles.

    I dyno test engines and we often change oil and cut open filter to check for metal after break in. I wanted to see what things looked like at 500 miles on a brand new vehicle. The new oil was Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40. I also installed an Amsoil dual remote filter. I didn't use Amsoil's...

    2021 75th Anniversary PW Ordered

    I agree. I have engine dyno and we lay on them as early as we can. If the engine is a roller cam we do maybe three pulls at part throttle to check A/F ratios and everything else, then it's WOT pulls. I built a mild 360 for a 1998 Dodge we have and it uses about a quart in 9000-10000 miles. It...

    Dedicated snow tires!

    We run those on our AWD Jaguar in the winter. It's an awesome winter car.

    Shocking truth ZF8 fluid

    I've never seen the trans oil temp over 170F on our 2020 Power Wagon. We haven't towed and ambient is lower now but I wouldn't call this a hot running transmission either. I read somewhere it locks the converter in every gear. Converter slip will build heat more than anything else will.

    https://www.ramforum.com/threads/change-your-rear-diff-oil-if-you-havent-yet-and-clean-those-lockers.154492/ I thought that was a very interesting thread.
