Turbo is rockin! cant get my damn pyro working, its a new autometer and i think i have it hooked up right but its not reading out. It has the pyro leads to the thermocouple and a red and black for power and ground. I may have to take it back or buy a new thermocouple. friggin stinkin stupid hahaha.

yeah the oil filter hold more oil so it provides more protection and capacity. if you have a non stroke, run the stroke filter.

to be honest its pretty close if not cheaper than the rotella depending on where you buy the rotella. i buy it in 5 gallon buckets at 71 dollars with tax so that would be about 14 bucks a gallon. you can buy it by the gallon i think. i know you can get 2.5 and yea i think 1 gallons. ive seen rotella go from 11 bucks to 17 bucks. depends where you go. but yea john deere is great.
