changed my oil, my first time since I bought it
 

so as you all know I have been posting about oil, tiny tic that developed and so on... Well i got around to changing the oil today.... Roller cam and lifters so I went with rotella 15-40 and a wix filter... so anyways, I noticed it was a quart and a 1/2 low after draining it.... I also noticed it was rather thin appearing to me. According to the records, since the build it is the third oil change from initial break in, which I did not do.. I bought the truck July 3rd and it had 500-700 miles on breakin, best guess... I was a tad concerned with how thin but didn't really detect any unusal particles or metal shavings, so I am thinking I am good.....

I did notice that the motor seems very smooth and some of the very tiny tic or odd sounds are gone...so I think that is a good thing....

I take it 5 quarts is about right with what appears to be the stock pan, right?

so we will see what this oil change brings as far as engine heat, sound and smoothness...

Correct.......5 quarts with stock pan.
