I keep my reciept's, oil filter box top and receipts from IH in the diesel pamplet that came with the truck. That way nothing else 'accidently' gets broke or unplugged around the engine bay while at the dealer. My wife took in her Escape (out of warrantee) on a Friday for a simple oil change and mysterely a plug under the passenger seat got loose after she got it back. It was showing a flashing air bag light on the dash after a few miles down the road. I had time to research it over the weekend and determined there was no way that plug could of come undone on its on. Had to of been unlatched and then just barely slide back in by human hands. Without it being latched, it was able to fall out while driving down the road.
you have good taste!

Using CJ-4 oil in a non-ULSD engine will actually result in the oil change interval being cut in half. if you have a 6.4L engine, use CJ-4. If you have an older PSD, use CI-4.
yamaharhino, yes I have way to many toys. EZ-GO is for the kids when camping and the rhino is my farm toy. Thanks!
RamSS/T, look a few days back and there is a thread about fuel filters. I have the IH combo part number in that thread. It was about $36 here when I got them on Thursday. I do mine on 15,000 intervals and have not seen anything in the old filters when I take them out.
