Wow, $60 is a little steep. It usually costs me $35 or so With Mobil 1 Extended Perf. and a Wix 57060. Where did you buy your supplies?

Well I paid about 40 bucks for 6 qts of oil (5.50ish per qt) and a fram filter (5 bucks), Then I could have done it myself but the the place I went charges 13 bucks and they give me a sticker :idiot: LOL. Its worth not dealing with doing it myself. So all in all about 55 bucks.

$13 is not too bad for the labor. On occasion, I've used nearly that much in shop towels and Band-Aids :idiot: .

Incidently, if you are interested in hours of entertainment, search the web to see why Fram filters are typically not regarded as the best choice for an oil filter. That said, I used them for years without issue, before I was "enlightened" Cheers!

 

PS I too am a motorcyclist. I have always thoutht that ape-hanger bars would cause your hands/arms to get numb in less than an hour. Is that the case? Thanks.

.... and a fram filter

 

Take that off. Fram filters are probably the worst you could put on. They are a cheaply made filter.

I switched mine to Mobil 1 at 2500 miles. I used the Mobil 1 filter. They aren't cheap compared to others at about $10 a piece but it was really well constructed and they've gotten good reviews. I'll see when I change it next and cut it open. The Mobil 1 filter is a #M113 and the OEM is a PF48 IIRC. There is a crossmember in the way so its kind of difficult to get in there with a strap wrench. I would suggest you get a cup wrench.

I've got 5w30 Mobil 1 Extended Perf in mine (switched at 3,500 miles when I bought it). I used the AC Delco filter. And yes, the filter is a biatch to get out. Mine was on their tight and I had to use the screwdriver method :idiot:

Get the Mobil One. STAY AWAY FROM FRAM! I once had a Toyota pickup that I used a Fram in. Everytime I started the truck, the oil light would stay on for several seconds after the rest of the lights went out. I changed to Mobil One, and never had a problem like that again. Now my Silverado and Avalanche both have a Mobil One.

Wix, Purolator, AC Delco, mobile one, pick one there all good. As for the Fram, I wouldnt wait. I would replace it ASAP and topp off the oil.

 

...oh and HERE

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
