Drove to Norman, Oklahoma

Six weeks in Norman, Oklahoma requires at least one vehicle.  Trust me.  I plan to use my KLR650 to find the best landscapes that the sooner state has to offer.  The truck averaged 19 mpg, with the weight of two motorcycles in the bed.  (I sold a basket case bike in Tulsa en-route)

First oil change

Obviously, an oil change is nothing to blog about.  I just wanted to document my thoughts after my first oil change in this truck.  Since my truck is just a 2WD model, the ground clearance is a bit disappointing.  I drove onto a couple of 2x4's and that was more than adequate.

the 13mm hex drain plug is easily removed from the side w/o a mess

Since the oil filter is right above the front cross-member, Chevy placed a nice spill diverter beneath it

I tipped the truck to get most of the old oil out of the oil pan, and with a filter change it used a whole 5qt jug

Washed truck and stuck a decal on the tailgate

I follow this guy on Youtube, and he sent me a sticker a while ago.  Knowing that I would eventually get a truck, I waited until now to put the sticker on.  Not very blog-worthy, but this blog is for me and my truck; any other viewers would be a surprise...

even though everRide lives in Utah, I thought his sticker would look nice under the Colorado emblem
