    Its still new to you. A year from now you will probably like,.. meh,.. next week might be better, Too sore right now to fool with this.

    When mine was new I was doing it by the book. Going on the 2 yr mark now with mine and I only use the cheap 30 wt lawn mower oil. When the oil looks black and dirty,.. I change it. That might be before or after the 100hr mark. I used to sweat and worry about it. Now not so much.

    My wife bought me a T-shirt last year that I wear proudly. Actually she got me 2 of them,.. and they are funny but so true.

    1st one says:

    Same Shirt
    Different Day

    2nd one and more on topic says:

    I'm not lazy.
    I just really enjoy doing nothing.

    I am anal about maintenance and preventative maintenance on my truck and vehicles at home. But when it comes to yard work or things around the house (The dreaded honey do list),.. I'd rather go hang out with friends or sit inside the air conditioning and irritate my wife :)

    I think you will be fine. Especially since your using synthetic (Over kill).

    This was about a month after I bought the truck.

    It did have a green hood. I've changed and added so much,.. the black hood is just standard "Hurst' issue now. You wont be confused if you ever see me anywhere. I've met a couple guys out on the road,.. "Hey,.. are you Hurst?" Um,.. who wants to know? LOL
