1997 Rodeo - SOHC 3.2

It smokes a little, and burns a bit more oil than I'm comfortable with... But then again, it's been doing both since the day we got it, and neither really seems to have gotten any worse.

The Bosch Filter, Mobil 1 full synthetic 0w30, and a splash of Mobil 1 ATF continues to keep the dreaded 'TICK-TICK-TICK' at bay. --- Only toward the very end of the 3000-mile cycle do I begin to hear any hint of it.

I have noticed that new life is breathed into the engine immediately after an oil change... There's notably more power, and a whole lot less hesitation. --- Based on this, I'm very seriously considering adjusting the oil change interval to every 2000-miles.

In association with this last oil change (at 86989) I ran the gas tank down to where I was practically running on fumes, and added some Carb/Injector Cleaner to the fill-up. --- NICE! --- It pulls hills and accelerates with some real grunt and gusto now. --- I don't recall having this much power since before the 265/75s went on! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
