[testerdahl]

A new GF-7 motor oil standard will be showing up at your local auto parts store aimed at boosting engine protection as well as MPG. The new standard, developed through industry collaboration between automakers and oil companies, is designed to improve on the existing oils out there to better protect turbocharged and engine with gasoline direct injection or both.

I plan on bringing that up in this week's truck news recap. Just imagine people's heads exploding over that news.

Here's the video.

For my personal sanity and because I'm busy as hell at the moment, I'm skipping the comments. My wife's 50th birthday party is Saturday and the boys and I kick off a 16 day camping trip starting at 7 am on Sunday morning. More details on the camping trip coming.

Happy birthday Heather!

You're not missing much in the comments. Same ole' crap about thin oils and "Fu** the EPA!" type stuff. The only thing directed at you were comments about you saying "oh-W" vs. "zero-W".....lol. Pretty desperate complaints. Enjoy camping. Just got back from a long weekend in the woods with my son and family myself. Can't wait to go again.
