Not unless it had the remote oil filter.....
Like I said, I wonder if they were over charging me?

Another reason I saw.....

The EB, 3.7,5.0 all have remote oil coolers. Check out the ports by the oil filters.....


Edit....after looking closer the 6.2 does also.....so there I sit like Jim scratching my head on the odd number for the oil capacity of the 5.0

On the drive over, I really missed my monitor where I kept track of engine temp, tranny temp, and voltage. I especially missed the digital mph. The new truck will tell you the tranny temp and that is all. I did notice the 6 speed tranny runs a lot warmer. About 35 to 40 degrees warmer.

Most of the older cars that came with turbos were not intercooled so they would ice down the intake or they would have a modified air box with ice in it to cool the air charge. I did not know they were cooling the intercooler on the EB with engine oil, that also explains a little more about some of the heat issues they are having.

Check me on that, I could be wrong, but that was what I understood. It may have been water cooled, but either way, that is why it would run hotter.

They're water cooled.....there's even a feature of a circulator pump that keeps the coolant flowing if the computer thinks its too hot upon shut down....

OK, thanks for clarifying. The guys having the heat issues in the mountains, couldn't that be a reason why? Staying in the turbos for an extended climb and the water heating up?

I was thinking about the scan gauge. Do those mount on the dash?

That is my thinking as well, I wonder what the EGT's are when pulling mountains or any grade for that matter. I know mine on the longest grade I have pulled so far I saw just under 1100* at one point.
