I'm not fixed on the oil yet. I might use rotella 5w40 instead. We'll see. I'm somewhat of a motor oil nut (having done about 10 blackstone analyses over the past 3-4 years). I have a nice stash of 0w40 that's waiting to be used up and it's an excellent oil for year long runs. Anyway...
Coolant was changed int he last 2 years when the expansion tank blew. Actually, I meant to make a note on that and forgot....I still smell coolant when I open the trunk after everytime I drive, even though the fluid level always looks great. It either was never cleaned out of the trunk, or the cap is venting, or the pull-up valve o-ring is busted....
