Coming up on 40k miles and a couple of questions related to filter intervals on my 2016 LML.

 

I bought my truck from a dealer that does lifetime oil and filter changes with a dedicated diesel mechanic so oil/filter is every 5k.  Usually ends up around 35% on the gauge.

 

For the fuel filter, I planned to follow the gauge but found some conflicting information.  I went ahead and did the fuel filter at 30k because honestly, I cant figure out what you are supposed to do.  the manual states 22,500 miles or two years but at 30k miles and almost 3 years the gauge was at over 50%.

 

For the transmission, I haven't changed the spin on yet.  Manual seems to refer to 45k for spin on and then a full service at 90k.  I'm not towing a lot and my transmission temps are under 100 degrees most of the time.  Does that seem right?

 

I was going to do transfer case/diffs at 50k (understood those aren't filters :))

Fuel filter should be changed the earliest of:

22,500 miles (36,000km)

2 years

0% on DIC 

 

If you drive a lot it's likely to be miles.

If you drive a little it's likely to be time.

If you get some dirty fuel it's likely to be %.

 

If you prefer to use the 'severe service' schedule the first trans fluid and external filter change is at 45,000 miles, then 90k intervals.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
