I have oil. Drain plug crush washers, o-rings, and next oil change I'll stock up on filters. Nothing wrong with having a years worth of filters around. Or more.
Five oil changes for twenty bucks.
I use these. I've studied used ones. They catch stuff.

Been revisiting this thread as I'm a few hundred miles from my next oil change. The discussion has gone sideways a few times so...
To put it to bed, the newer T6 has adequate ZDDP but an increase in moly which may cause the Savage clutch to slip, right?
Which puts us back to using T4 or something more expensive.

No....you need to go back and re-read the thread again.
The current round of T6 (CK4) is just what the Dr. ordered and is perfect for use "as-is".
The previous round of T6 that was CJ4 had too much moly - you won't likely find it on any shelves anymore (although I did see a left over bottle of it at Advance Auto).

That isn't always suitable for the Savage engine.....some of the JASO approved oils have a low ZDDP level.

I have to admit (and I am a near Master's Degreed person!) that I followed this thread when it first began, and had a really difficult time sorting out which was being talked about - CJ or CK as the discussion went back and forth. I trust Dave's interpretation, though!
