Probably don't hear this much anymore but I use Royal Purple. Last oil change I had 5,000 on the oil and it was still as clean and purple as the day i put it in. Love that oil.

How did you download the manual? I've only been able to view an online only version, I'd love to have a PDF for when I'm away from internet service.

Edit: Wrong link. I'll get back to you.

Okay, you have 2 options. Get a paper manual and carry it with you, or, install a pdf printer (I use cutepdf) on your pc and save the sections you want as pdf. I could have sworn I had an owner's manual in my dropbox, but it sure isn't there now.

Both sleds needed service, so I ordered directly from Amsoil 10qts of trans / primary (5ea).
Added 4 filters to the final order from them too.
20qts of Royal Purple from another source, everything arrives today so I can get this done over the weekend.

I hate not having at least two of everything needed for basic service, O-rings, gaskets, air filters, oil.

spent a grip but I'm covered for more than year. The U.S. again for the advice on the oil weight,.
