Add a bypass filter. Make that engine last forever. I prefer the FS2500

 

[nycxjeremyy]

Continue doing 3,000 miles changes

Or

Do lab tests to find out if you should do them sooner or can run longer & save money.

Yes sir

My preference is the Frantz, but I am going off old specifications. Idk if there are others that clean better, especially for the price.

On mine I am gonna run a centrifuge powered by 120v pump when I park it but I will be over 10,000 miles per year.

Those look good.

This is what I used.

The FS2500 is a good system,
But for half the price is the Frantz.

Checked the timing chain marks today, all lined up thankfully

 

[Will L.]

The marks should line up when there is a new timing chain. As the chain stretches the timing is supposed to get adjusted. Gm called for 50,000 mile intervals but all the fleets and shops learned 30,000 is a more realistic interval. Doesn’t usually take much, width of a dime each time is fairly close for most. Using the timing gun is the proper way.

Oh copy. I have not idea if my chain was ever adjusted or not, but I was told that going off that mark indicator was the way to go, and that since the two notches line up, it should all be good
