RE: Have a K&N Filter? Read this.
Well, I have been thinking about it, and since I'm going to be driving so much now (I think) I may go back on my words and try that new extended life oil. I think Mobile makes it. I have to look online. I want to see if it really holds up as long as it says it does. I really don't want to be changing my oil every 1 1/2 months like I'd probably have to.

Did the oil change to Royal Purple today. I will keep you informed if there is any improvement in mileage or performance.
To note on the few miles I put on my H3 after the change, I haven't noticed any difference in anything out of the ordinary. As mentioned in another thread on Royal Purple, my temp gauge was still at the half way mark when the engune reached operating temp and as someone else noted that this oil (RP) runs the temp gauge slightly cooler. The outside air temperature was 35 degrees. Next report will be if they is any gain in mileage.

Dennis, my thoughts exactly!!! I never heard anything like that until I read a post as follows from the topic of oil used in an H3 from this site (from search)
posted by Zoo:
I talked with both friends that have been using it and the reps. Everyone has their own opinon just giving you info...... The people that have been using it swear by it. Most don't change there oil for 7000 miles that use RP. Before my engine heat constantly ran between 1/2 and 3/4 (H3). When I switched it runs at 1/2 and below. I thought it was bullcrap when I first heard it would reduce engine heat but it worked. If you go to there Web site you can see videos/reviews of the product. Also my engine smoothed out and seems to rev better. It's kind of hard to explain, but give it a try for one oil change. If you don't like it then at least you tried.

HummerGuy, I don't know if you have heard about a Company called Amsoil? I use to be a dealer but stopped selling it due to not enough time to work at it. If you are worried about the oil from the K&N filter fouling up your MAF, you can buy an Amsoil replacement dry filter made to replace the K&N wet filter. I think there is an Amsoil dealer here on the site that may be able to help you if you are interested?

I just had my oil changed and I used Royal Purple. I didn't notice any difference in performance or MPG, but I just know that's it's better for my engine.

I went to my old place and brought home my K&N filter recharging kit. I'm going to try to clean and spray the filter tonight and install it tomorrow. It's almost black. I'll take pics and post them before I clean it. Hopefully that will make things a little better, even though after PCM for less I'm getting better mileage, just like they said, about 2 to 3 MPG more. I've been getting a minimum of 30 miles more per tank. Definitely noticable.
