✅ Note: While Mobil 1 was previously used in some Chrysler factories, it is no longer officially listed under current MS-6395 certifications after Chrysler’s re-alignment with specific formulations. There is a list of approved oil. Ensure the oil meets MS-6395 specification and is full synthetic.

That's why oil companies use viscosity modifiers among other ingredients Viscosity modifiers are primarily used to manage temperature-related viscosity changes in lubricants and other fluids, ensuring consistent performance across a wide temperature range. .

The oil life indicator (for my driving habits) proves to be accurate. I did test it "once" by going to 3% of oil life and had the oil tested. Viscosity index, total TBN, additive depletion, reduction in detergents and dispersants can only be measured by an oil test. Yes there are audible and...

You'll get many recommendations. First off... take an oil sample and send it off for analysis. Then match the oil to daily usage. Here's my recommendations. All synthetic oil and I prefer Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. I use Shaffer's oil when towing. long distance with long durations 5W-40. *Stop...

If y'all have any information on NOGI bed caps how about the brain trust share your knowledge. https://nogicampers.com/

The reign? I don't get it?

I forgot to note.... If you look at the link from Winnebago you might notice the trailer has an exoskeleton of pipe. I mounted the panels from the horizontal crossmember in the front with piano hinges. I use a redneck sling support to tilt the panels depending on the sun's location relative to...

I added 300W of solar and mounted them on the front on piano hinges so I can adjust the panel position for optimum charging. Torqflex Dexter axle... independent torsion axles with coil over shocks, very competent off road. I mounted 300w of additional solar in addition to the 200W that come...

. I have a Winnebago Hike. https://www.winnebago.com/models/product/towables/travel-trailer/hike-100-flx/2025-h1316mb That's not me in the ad... but could be although my Gladiator is Gray.... lol Definitely a equalizer and brake controller. The Redarc brake controller has an off road...

I'd use a RV roof product if it was me.... brush it, roll it on or spray it. You can even get it with ceramic in the product for heat reflection. I have applied to metal surfaces before. Works well.

Holy Bat Glacier Robin! Next year it's the Arctic Ocean for me.

I have two highly modifiable vehicles.... my 22 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (Devlin) and my 02 Ford Excursion 7.3 (Zombie Crusher) I am always covering my tracks.

I guess your wife looks at your posts? lol!

Can you put a price tag on your build?

Knowledge is power. Numbers is the science of logic. If you can't quantify and measure the "why I do it this way", you're guessing. Don't let your feelings outsmart your common sense. The 3.6 when it first came to market, the recommended viscosity 5W-30. Find out why, and what was the...

If you apply the science of lubrication to the (my) conditions... then 0W-20 is not the right viscosity. My conditions were high load, high heat. The number one reason for viscosity breakdown is the shear down or loss of the viscosity-index (VI) improver in the oil. This can occur due to...

Yes...

Tongue weight is important to know. The travel trailer I towed had (surprisingly) 485 lb. tongue weight. I installed air bags, which made a huge difference in articulation. In addition, I had a equalizer hitch https://www.equalizerhitch.com/products/equal-i-zer-hitch/ and used REDARC elite...

4th gear up to 65MPH on steep grade. 4500 + rpm maybe a bit higher, but always kept it under 5K rpm. I did manual shifting while towing, Used "D" when driving local. However 2nd gear holds too long. The Winnebago Hike has a high profile, so lots of wind resistance. I average 10.5 MPG for the...
