    Wondering if you’ll take another hit on your mpg’s after re-gearing as well?

    Yes, I remember Slick50, we used it in everything too.

    I put half a quart of Amsoil in the X5 after each oil change, gives me a sense of added security [emoji6]

    Great question! I primarily use Amsoil because side by side tests show there’s literally ZERO wear on your engine during the oil change intervals (that I do) when compared to Mobil1 or other Full Synthetic Oils. Personally, MHO, I’d rather have Amsoil protecting my engine whether long or short intervals which has outstanding and unsurpassed results. After an enormous amount of research, I’ve seen only the best possible results achieved using Amsoil. And, as Karnut stated, his engine, with short amount of miles on approximately 3 yrs has Amsoil in it. You’ll learn a whole lot from people that have actually been using Amsoil for a great many of years. Sad thing is, you don’t really find people raving about their vehicles on forums, rather you’ll see more people looking to join a forum for ways to release negativity but know one thing, Amsoil has a 100% customer satisfaction rating which is why you don’t hear about Amsoil Oil until someone like me raves about it. I love my Amsoil, it’s in each and every one of my family’s vehicles except the new X5 I bought my wife cause it’s got extended service contract with free oil changes up to 100k miles

    DUH and WOW! I think even Amsoil has a shelf life but in your case, well, wouldn’t know how to explain that one other than definitely outstanding oil. Personally, I’m addicted. I find myself changing the oil even sooner than 4K now due to my OCD and making a deal with myself that I’m going to do everything I can maintenance wise to keep this truck for a very long time thanks to Amsoil Engine Oil, Diff Oil and Transfer Case Oil, Just had GM do a full service on my transmission 4K miles ago and pump in their new and improved transmission fluid [emoji6]

    I would feel the same, keep up with your oil changes and make sure to use only Wix XP filters and if possible, send a bit of your oil as you’re changing it to BlackStone or your choice lab to make sure there’s not a problem. Personally, I had no idea you could learn so much from an oil analysis, I mean, the test even shows if your air filter is doing its job, wow

    It’s promoting the longevity of the engine, extremely impressive oil. I’m always going to go 4-5K intervals but you can only imagine the actual protection Amsoil is doing during and in between oil changes, it’s like your engine hasn’t run at all. I think 4-5K intervals is good with just about any Full Synthetic but it’s the protection during the use of Amsoil that completely blows them all away! Full Synthetic breaks down considerably during use within 4-5K but Amsoil is just getting started.

    Here’s an obviously very happy customer with his 1Million mile review, wow!

    Here’s another test done, proof is in the pudding. https://www.f150forum.com/attachments/f38/397744d1444861530-amsoil-blackstone-labs-analysis-report-22-672-miles-12-ford-coyote-092615_sanitized.pdf Would I go this long or recommend you to do so....HELL NO! But, it’s that good of oil. 4K-5K miles intervals for me assures me excellent protection between engine oil changes along with Wix XP oil filters capturing small as 20 Microns of dirt, your engine will last far longer.

    Latest Testing done by an individual having Blackstone Labs testing of his Amsoil 5w30, make sure to read the notes! https://www.fusionsportforums.com/forum/377-engine-technical-discussion/17823-amsoil-signature-series-oil-blackstone-oil-testing-10k-11-2k-10k-13-3k-intervals.html

    You’ll notice a longer braking distance and harder brake application in order to stop as well as acceleration too
  18. TXGREEK
    That’s false and bad information. I’ve got a 6.2 and noticed a difference just going to 34” tires. The SuperChips Tune completely fixed that.

    They’re over stretched low lifts, that’s all. The only RC lift I’ve heard was ok, the 5” bracket lift but you’ll need swap out the garbage RC shocks
  20. TXGREEK
    Rough Country has a couple “acceptable “ lifts but the brand is well known to be the cheapest and for a reason. I’m not going to go back and forth about it but will say that NO shop I deal with offers them and when I’ve asked why and they flat out say they refuse to deal with RC cause to many warranty issues after installs and most people are looking for any excuse to get free stuff done. Get what you can afford but no one should rush into anything, research, save up and get a more reputable better designed lift, one that’s not going to cause more stress than needs to. Offering the Lifted look is what makes RC successful, I’ve been told by lots of off-roading maniacs YOU DON’T OFF-ROAD WITH RC unless you don’t mind replacing your whole suspension. I’d recommend Zone for lower cost lift before RC. I’ve also had multiple people claim zero issues on the forum and later complaining of ball joint and CV issues. My CST lift has been on for a year, 50 mph in fields bouncing around with zero issues, no alignment issues, nothing....you get what you pay for. Nothing wrong with having the look, just don’t push it. Good luck!

    I’m running a 4.5” CST lift that can be bought with rear shocks for just under $2K for the kit but then comes the cost for install. I’d stay clear from Rough Country. Zone which is the lower end BDS’s competition to Rough Country makes a nice lift for approximately $1200 - $2K per lift but then comes install. It all depends on whether you’re going to want the best built or just a lifted truck look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I’d recommend Mcgaughs over BDS

    Highly recommend contacting lift companies, asking this question and see the difference between manufacturers, some may make your truck have wider track and turning radius, some may not. May be Lifts that are better fitting for your truck than others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
