Man, thanks for all the pre-work guys. Mine obviously has the same thermostat....but clean smelling oil and my emission tube is bone dry.

I'll wait until I start showing symptoms before I worry about it.....still early in the ownership

Strange....I changed my oil yesterday with Rotella 15W 40, non-synthetic. When I went to leave for work this morning...pulled in the clutch and engine died when I clicked it into gear (lurched like clutch didn't disengage). Once warm...problem went away.

I'm thinking it's got to be the difference in going from 10W to 15W? Suppose I need to let it warm up a little longer before I head out I guess.
