Long post...

Oil change with Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic and Mobil 1 filter. Tire rotation. Emptied the catch can. Gross. So glad this is not in my intake.

Then a little plasti dip...
Okay, boys. Which one for the center caps? Or should there be white somewhere? I know they're not perfect, I was just testing my method.

Gonna put red and/or black dip, but not sure of the scheme yet. Ideas or suggestions, please.

The back hatch logo is like this...

Thanks for your thoughts here, guys.

I think all of them white would be cool. But if your going red & black id do the red with black outline for all.

Divining rods. Lol.

Well actually they're so my lifters don't fall into the block when I swap my cam but I figure I'll need to start looking for gold after I'm done with my truck in order to replenish my cash reserves so yeah divining rods. Multipurpose tools.

J/K.. I read your build thread before I posted that, lol.

Yea I made a mess when I did mine too. No way to do it clean unless you had one of those large transmission drain pans. I didn't touch my old filter seal either; my new filter popped in place and was snug so I didn't see the point.

If you don't want to get a $10 HF 1/4" drive torque wrench, do it by feel with a shorter ratchet. Can't get any feel when using a long one. I did 13 ft-lbs for my gasket. From my experience at a shop, 13 ft-lbs is tightening with the head of the ratchet until it stops, and then giving it a tug on the handle after.

I couldn't make it to the store in time so when I went to reinstall the newly gasketed pan, I used a 1/4 drive ratchet... carefully. Same thing happened: the gasket was protruding from the back, passenger side with sharpest corner so I loosened the bolts & started over. Same $hit but less dramatic so I rolled with it. About 3-quarts in I got a small drip @ front of pan so I hit them all 1- more time and stemmed the leak. Started engine & ratchet thru all selections a couple times after adding quart #4. Checked level 20-mins later; low on stick. Added 5th qrt as some random dude lingering around began asking me for $$$ so I killed it & went inside before he came back with a gang to beat & rob me. Will have to drive & recheck fill tomorrow. Hopefully get the power steering flushed too.

Installed the new power stop drilled and slotted rotors kit I bought a few months ago along with the stainless steel brake hoses...stops on a dime now

I think you should match your front bow tie with the caps, personally
