What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[DavidKFla]

We got spoiled with 45/60 plus days of sunshine..it may be the first of spring...but it's like February...

We were in the 80s.

We were in the 80s.

Not for long!

Not for long!

Huh? Once he got to that age it's hard to go back.

 

[DavidKFla]

Not for long!

It's cold right now. 40s again tonight.

Crossed the 40k mark yesterday morning on the way in to work. Just did the 12th oil change on it earlier this week too! And put on the 6th set of rear tires about a month ago

Opened the garage door and peeked 👀

Mine has not made it out of hibernation yet

Keep thinking about them puddle lights...

 

[Bobo]

Got it out the other day and stretched her legs for an hour or so running around town.

 

[MMissile]

I gotta go look to see if mine is still in my storage portion of the shop...

It's getting close to being able to stir up that 2 year old oil and go for a drive. But I suspect that the closest fun road is still closed off, since they claim that the snow pack is at or above average.

Yup right around 100% give or take up there!

Should be able to just click and drag the map to see Colorado data. I can on that link...

BULL's trip will be just fine.

In reality it was the oil that came out in late December that was two years old. Had it analyzed at a lab that does it more in depth than Blackstone, and then had the result analyzed by someone who really knows this stuff.

As it turned out the oil (PUP) was just fine, and said to be good to go for another 3,000 miles or so. And this was not a fluke. Did it on both 'Cats, both with about 550 miles on their oil in those two years. Practically identical results.

I was really just curious if deviating from the must-change-oil-every-six-months mantra had some real life basis, and since the annual December oil change didn't happen in '22 this was my unusual chance to find out.

So, what I suspected all along seems to be correct. If not short tripping the 6.2, or cold starting it during hibernation to impress friends and neighbors, instead making sure the oil gets up to temp whenever starting/driving the car, not changing the oil for two years is nothing. In this case - or two cases - the oil would've most likely been good for another year or two.

Rest easy BULL.

People lost their shit when I said 10k miles on mine
