Strange is all I can say. My last 5 VWs (all DI turbo engines), and my last 4 Jeeps (all Pentastars) have all had nearly black oil within a few thousand miles. I guess the universe does like you!

I change my own oil in my Fiesta and Gladiator. I run Motul in both. The Fiesta gets tracked and driven hard and sees far more extreme temps. The Gladiator sees casual use.

All my vehicles are started and driven very gently until oil temps are up to normal. Quality filters used in both.

Oil changes are done early.

Oil is very dark brown and you could say it looks black. Checking it, and wiping oil from the dip stick, it's dark brown. When draining the oil into my catch, it looks black.

That's what is supposed to happen.

Regardless of how it looks or feels, if anyone is worried reach out to Blackstone, get your kit, and spend the $30 to have it analyzed. That provides the actual condition of the oil and an understanding what's happening in the engine.

You sent it into Blackstone Labs? Or what give it a taste test? There's no way a single person can tell.

ok

ok

It is blackstone that I used but its not back yet. But with experience and logic, I know they at least skipped the last change. I usually pay for oil changes for the last few years because I can afford it and I don't save that much by doing it myself. Not because I can't or don't have a lot of experience working on cars. Good dealers being harder to find, I will be changing my own from now on. Anyway, thank you for your concern.

I think this is the same one that came on my Gladi. The issue I have with it is the back puts up when I shut the tailgate. Any chance you'd share the install instructions? TIA

I had that same problem with this cover. I just moved the two back clamps a little farther forward and very slightly loosened them. So far- so good.

Good to know. I moved forward a bit more already. Will try lowering the back clamps. Thanks for the info.

Installed Redrock bed side rock rails. Instructions sucked and the bumper needed some trimming but happy with the product quality and the results

Mopar 2” lift on 35’s. Very happy with it.

Those sure look like the Organs in the background.

You’d be correct sir. Good eye…

Installed the Supreme Suspensions hitch skid, was really just interested in a stable step.

I really want one of these but their website is terrible. I put two of these things in the cart by mistake a couple days ago and it would not let me update the cart no matter what I did or do. I just tried again. It just keeps crashing if I try. I tried to contact them as per their instructions on the site, and they finally sent me an email today asking what the problem was. Doesnt inspire a lot of confidence in the ordering process. . .

Cool. I'm the Sting Gray diesel in town.

Ha Ha, cool. Met up with another guy last night at the neighborhood Walmart who bought a sting gray Rubi in Alamagordo, that I came very close to buying. I’ve also seen a woman driving around town in a Gator Rubi that looks a lot like mine.

We’re growing in numbers…

maybe email Warfab Inc and see if they'll make one. they used to have several styles on their website but took them down for some reason.
