...This is only 1 month+ old oil with less then 500 miles.
Yikes! Good job for getting on it and fixing the prob quickly, and changing the oil...not just r&r'ing the FPR.
...I let that oil drain down to the very last drop went inside and waited over a half hour. .
Put in a new FPR today and got rid of all my codes p0172, p0175 and p0300
As you can see in the pic right below the FPR the manifold is spotless clean and everywhere else is dirty. Definitely the FPR is bad when you see it that clean below it.
but... now I think i have a small vacuum leak. I hear a whistle/whine sound that gets real loud but stops when i hit the throttle and comes back when i let off it.
So i gotta recheck things tomorrow. I hope I didn't crack the plenum because I couldnt press it over the fuel spider because of the new gasket. So I put 2 bolts in the plenum and tightened them slowly to press down on the gasket ?I heard a noise but I'm pretty sure it was the gasket squeezing.
Gonna spray carb cleaner around the plenum and other areas and see what happens.
It starts up no problem and no more odor or check engine lights and drives very good!
Alright...I do the same! And I try to jack it (or have it drain de-jacked) so the drain hole is angled so it's at the lowest point of pan. I always drain the oil hot so it's thinner and drains quicker. Also mixes up and re-suspends into the oil any sediment that might otherwise settle and sit on the bottom of the oil pan. Gotta get that crappy oil outta there!
When I change my oil I take the engine out of the truck, pull it all apart, wash everything with a stiff brush and detergent, wipe it all down with a lint free cloth, put it back together and put it back in the truck.
