Trinity is off the scale

I have about 4500 miles on mine and decided to change the oil for the first time. Went with 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic 15,000 extended mileage with a Mobil 1 M1-206 filter.

Have used this with good success in other vehicles. About $25 bucks for a five quart jug at Wally-World, $4.50 for a single quart (needs 6 quarts per manual), and $10 for a filter at AutoZone.

Changing the filter is a major pain. 1.) Remove 2 skid plates to access everything. 2.) Filter just above cross member, tight space, drips on everything, and Hercules put it on at the factory.

First time is always a pain, but subsequent changes should be easier. My $.02.
