Right here Scott. I will head back to Tahoe either today or tomorrow. I would bring my change jar but as you know everything is modern now. I did hit $90 on penny slots and ended up walking out with 50. I wasn't there to gamble but happened to sit at a good spot

Oil changes not so much either I am told. Still, should save you money in the long run.

Unless you got in on the recent sale at Autozone, 5w/40w Mobil 1 full synthetic Turbo Diesel Truck oil for $12.99/gallon. The sale just ended on 12/24. Did you manage to get in on some of that? It was posted on the 6.0 forum. I only managed to stock up on 8 gallons (two oil changes). Christmas took most all of my money...

And if you can find quarts at an Autozone, they are running at about $1/quart as AZ is closing out quarts. I found some quart bottles in stock at Carson City Nevada AZ but they were gone by the time I got there to pick them up... The word is out on that one so I doubt you'll find any of those around.

For a 6.0l nothing but motorcraft, international, or racor.

Up here it costs me about $100 to do my own oil change on the 6.0l. Part of the reason I went back to the 7.3 was conventional oil.

I dont get nearly as good of mileage now though.
