You look you are doing ok, life is good. More fishing or sporting? We are close to the delta here, when the stripers run it is something similar to when the salmon spawn in Alaska, just pick them out of the bay. The meat is incredible, white meat with zero fishy taste. I like it better then salmon when we are talking pan friend, smoked is another thing then salmon is king.

So...

This stuff has been a topic of conversation on here so here is my proof. This stuff is $20 per spray bottle

It has been since the end of April since i washed my truck (i think) and used this stuff. And my truck sits outside full time and at work it is in a super dusty environment.

This in me rinsing the truck before a wash.

So how is thia for not letting a dirty film build up?
I have bought a few different kinda of products like this but after a few weeks you can see a film on it and pretty much have to hand wash it to get it clean even though it looks clean from a few feet away.

I bought a bottle just have not had a chance to use it yet.

Dont stand so close when you look at your truck.[emoji16]

Even for that it’s the best I’ve ever used. I have not used a lot of different stuff though. Dust does not seem to want to stick to it like it does to others

I mean it’s not perfect, you still get stuff to build up overtime but this seems to keep it from happening better than others

I thought we already had this conversation? Did you try adding lubegard biotech to this sump? Central CA 5w30 redline all day long, I'm in nor cal 5w30 redline 27/7.

Ok so I may be that dummy. So I have done 2 oil changes on the wife's 09 Yukon Denali using qsud. Has 99.6k miles now. Maybe 600 miles into this oci. I have not been able to do an analysis on it since we have bought it. Should I stay with qsud and see what the uoa says? Or not be the dummy and buy the rgt on sale?

Ok guys. I've been busy with moving into our new house, and now as I type this I'm in the hospital with my wife in early labor. I came into this thread with 15 pages to come current. I tried to read thru it all but couldn't. Skipped to this page. Anyway, in this whole moving fiasco I was able to see / hear some things with my truck. Basically, the tick reared its head a few times at start up. Would go away. I'm convinced it's due to short(er) starts and stops.

On my normal schedule, I rarely did short trips or had to move my truck just a little bit. But with moving it was quite often. I'm maybe a few thousand miles into this oci redline 5w30 with to 20820 filter.

We all seem to love this filter. But does anyone feel, or has anyone had any different experiences with another filter doing short trips, starts and stops?

Some guys have had good luck with other filters, no harm in trying, I think srt filter would be good choice to try, the new puro as well, maybe wix xp as well.

Yea, ya gotta wonder with so many labels, Platinum, Platinum Ultra, SRT, QSUD, Rotella gas, all of the high mileage and so on, if they haven't "watered down" the Brand to the point people lose interest.

Hmmmm.....
