    Thanks for the input, i just wanted to see if there is a better way than the plug on the drivers side.

    Why, there are plenty of good truck stop parking spots that need slicked up? :biggrin_25523:

    The other obvious thing when checking is making sure the truck is relatively level.
    Have seen some people checking engine oil with the truck on a pretty steep incline is the only reason I mentioned it.

    do you know whats more common in older trucks like from the 1999? synthetic or non-synthetic. I don't know what oil I got in there right now. Figured to play it safe and buy nonsynthetic to replace the fluid since it probably been running on non-synthetic. Thanks
