Changed the oil and added factory skid plates. This is my first on k2, and damn - thats a lot of oil! Im gonna need a bigger boat. Does anyone still sell 4 qt jugs anymore? 2 would work out nicely. I still have 2 qts of new oil in 1 jug which left me scouring my recycle bin for the 3 extra qts of dirty oil. Also, whos the dbag that designed the angle on the filler neck? Had to stand on my head filling it up - time to go funnel shoppin. Finally, this is the first time I noticed a marked reduction in engine noise after a change. The Rotella Gas Truck is the ****...
Pics of plastic vs metal skid setup. There are actually 2 narrow plates under the plastic as shown, so its not as weak as I thought; all metal is better though...

I like these Z71 skid plates, although the transfer case one is there more for an audible warning than actual protection. Plenty good for my application nonetheless.
What weight of the Rotella oil are you using? I'm switching to Mobil1 AFE 0w30 (Dexos certified) in a few thousand miles.
