    Oil change in the wilderness

    Thanks all! After 10100 miles we’re at 2% now. Oil level is at the minimum right now, so we just added a quart. Looks like we’ll make it another 300ish miles or so (still debating between option 1 and 2). Guess what, the local shop is already closed for the weekend. And yes, bad planning on...

    2018 Explorer Sport - Towing a Travel Trailer
