The CAI does help quite a bit keeping the intake temps down, though I could improve on it a bit. I've been thinking of adding a scoop in the hood.

As for the oil, I bought Renewable Lubricants 5w40 Low Ash. The Amsoil filter hasn't arrived yet. Renewable Lubricants also has a low ash 5w30 and my manual says I can use a 10w30 in winter, I'm wondering if I can use a 5w30 even in summer and while towing. If the oil pressure isn't effected badly, I think I'll switch to that on the oil change after this one. The oil pressure gauge's still busted though so I don't yet know what the pressure is even with a 5w40.
