I'm trying to find where my CPAS is located. I looked on the OS and google for my specific truck and i'm getting mixed images. I took a peek and couldn't see anything remotely close to what I seen in other images. I would like to check to make sure it is not leaking...how hard would it be to pull it out and give it a good cleaning? Can I use the same throttle body cleaner I used on the throttle body? How do I clean it?
Also, Mat(My hubby) picked up enough mobile 1 syn to change the oil twice to help flush the crap out(Engine Restore) he bought a Fram tough guard filter for the first initial oil change and I picked up a K&N oil filter this morning for the final oil change. I have not used a K&N in the truck as this will be the 1st oil change in it, OReilly's gave me the filter, but the K&N filter is HUGE compared to the fram one my husband bought after work this morning. I double checked with OReilley's and they are pretty adamant that they gave me the correct filter, but i'm just not to sure. Are the K&N's supposed to be bigger? I can take a picture if need be.
Also my Haynes book does not tell me where my CPAS is either....in fact there is nothing in the book explaining where it is or how to change it.
Also wanted to mention that I do believe they have dino oil in the truck, DIC says oil life is around 40% but the oil is awfully black and nasty, looks like the truck is just thousands of miles over due for a change when looking at the oil. Is there anyway to determine if it's full syn/half syn or dino oil in it now?
Thanks in advance
