He's a longtime fixture of the broadcast news industry and sadly Morley Safer died earlier today (May 19) in New York City.
The "60 Minutes" alum began working for CBS News back in 1964 and had announced his retirement just last week.
Emily Ratajkowski believes her early puberty "confused" people, as she was a girl who looked like a woman.
The model and actress' striking looks and enviable figure have made her a global star, with modelling jobs for the likes of Marc Jacobs and CR Fashion Book as well as film roles in Gone Girl, Entourage and We Are Your Friends. It was the music video for Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, in which she danced about topless, that made her famous. While she's confident enough to flaunt her body now, it took some time to get there, as she struggled when she hit puberty in her pre-teen years.

Affordability, Effectiveness and Wellness, Part 1
by David Axene
Health care affordability describes whether a person or organization has sufficient income to pay for or provide for health care costs and not significantly impede their ability to purchase other important services.
This is Part 1 in a five-part series which presents a creative solution for today's health care crisis. Additional articles in the series can be found here: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.
Improving Affordability Through Health And Wellness And Improved Efficiency: An Overview
As we enter a presidential election year, health care reform continues to be a key talking point for all of the candidates. Today's major health care issues are much like those of the past, just exacerbated with today's financial uncertainties. The ever-escalating costs above and beyond the rest of the economy, the growing uninsured and related health care access issues, and ongoing quality of care concerns dominate the dialog. These critical issues can be captured by a few poignant questions:
- Can we afford our health care system today and in the future?
- If we improve the affordability of the system, will the issues be mitigated?
- What are the most obvious ways to improve the affordability of the system?
- Is a complete overhaul of the health care system required?
This series focuses on proposed answers to the above questions and integrates current information with updated research and analysis presented by the author on these important topics.
Understanding Affordability
Affordability, particularly health care affordability, has been misunderstood and oftentimes confused with cost. Affordability is best defined as a measure of someone's or something's ability to purchase a good or a service. It describes whether a person or organization, with limited resources, is able to make a purchase without unacceptable or unreasonable sacrifices. It assumes there is a limited amount of resources to purchase life's necessities.
Health care affordability describes whether a person or organization has sufficient income to pay for or provide for health care costs and not significantly impede their ability to purchase other important services.
Housing affordability is often defined in terms of the ratio of how much it costs to purchase the median-priced home in a particular marketplace (i.e., mortgage payment with 20% down) to the average income in that particular market. For example, if the median price for a new home is $500,000, an 80% mortgage would be $400,000. The monthly payment for that mortgage at 6% interest would be about $2,400. If the average annual income in that community is $75,000, one metric of affordability would be as follows:
($2,400) / ($75,000 / 12) = .384 or 38.4%
This says that 38.4% of the average person's gross income is required to pay the mortgage payment for the median house. If another region has a lower ratio, their housing would be more affordable, and vice versa.
Health care affordability could be defined in a similar way: how much does health care cost divided by how much is available to spend on health care?
Several years ago Axene Health Partners, LLC developed an index to quantify health care affordability known as the AHP HCAI™ (i.e., AHP Health Care Affordability Index). The AHP HCAI™ measures the relative affordability of health care for individuals, sponsoring organizations, and the government by comparing both health care costs and available income. The ratio of cost to income provides a valuable metric of affordability. Once normalized to an average or standard affordability level (i.e., 1.00 or 100%), it is possible to compare one region with another, one sector to another, one stakeholder to another, etc.
To reflect all health care stakeholders, the AHP HCAI™ reflects an average of health care affordability for each of the three key health care purchasers — employers, employees, and government entities. Each component of the AHP HCAI™ can be reviewed individually to measure affordability for each stakeholder.
Importance Of Affordability
A metric such as the AHP HCAI™ can be used to better understand variations in affordability, key drivers to affordability, and what can be done to improve the situation (i.e., make health care more affordable).
When health care is not affordable or needs to be more affordable, individuals have to make hard choices, especially in challenging economic times. With high gas prices, high home foreclosure rates, a tenuous economy, a downturn in the building industry, an unstable stock market, and many other factors, many individuals and families are struggling financially. People are asking very hard questions about how they will balance their family budget.
Opting out of health insurance entirely is an increasingly more popular option that is raising the number of uninsureds. Fewer employers are offering insurance since they have more difficulty funding it. States are cutting down on some of their fringe programs which further increase the number of uninsureds.
The growth in the number of uninsureds focuses much attention on the access to needed care. Without insurance, individuals cannot afford needed medical care and often delay care until it can no longer be delayed, oftentimes leading to more expensive, urgently-needed treatment.
The affordability of care has a significant impact on many of our concerns about health care.

Research Overview
Research in the Hocking lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which the extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin, affects cell and tissue functions that are critical for wound repair. We study both the structural mechanisms and intracellular signaling events that mediate cell and tissue responses to matrix fibronectin. In turn, we are using this information to develop novel technologies for tissue engineering, and therapeutic approaches to promote tissue regeneration in chronic wounds.
The Extracellular Matrix: What is it? The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex, three-dimensional network comprised of collagens, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans that provides an adhesive substrate for the organization of cells into tissues. In the adult, dynamic interactions between cells and their surrounding ECM proteins regulate most, if not all, cell and tissue functions. ECM proteins also contribute to the mechanical and permeability properties of the skin, vasculature, lungs, and other organs. Fibronectin is a principal component of the ECM, where it is organized into elongated, branching fibrils. Mechanical forces influence the deposition, organization, and structure of ECM fibronectin fibrils, which in turn, affect cell function, ECM organization and stability, vascular perfusion, blood vessel permeability, and tissue strength. Fibronectin is initially secreted by cells in a soluble, protomeric form. Soluble fibronectins are then polymerized into ECM fibrils by means of a tightly-regulated, cell-dependent mechanism that can be rapidly up- or down-regulated. Fibronectin matrix polymerization is increased in response to tissue injury; altered fibronectin matrix deposition is associated with abnormal tissue repair in a number of chronic inflammatory states, including non-healing wounds, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. In the body, fibronectin polymerization is a continuous process, with as much as 50% of the fibronectin matrix undergoing turnover every 24 hours. In spite of this remarkable information, the mechanisms of fibronectin matrix polymerization and the function of ECM fibronectin fibrils in vivo is not well understood.
Studies from the Hocking Lab: What have we learned about fibronectin? Research in the Hocking lab has been directed at determining whether and how this three-dimensional fibronectin matrix regulates cell behaviors that are essential to tissue repair. Our studies have firmly established that cells respond differently to soluble versus ECM fibronectin, and that the ECM form is the primary functional form of fibronectin. We have shown that the conversion of fibronectin into the ECM form specifically stimulates cell spreading, cell migration, and collagen matrix contraction – all cellular events critical to tissue regeneration. We have also shown that the assembly of a fibronectin matrix promotes the co-polymerization of collagen I and enhances the tensile strength of model tissue, thus demonstrating that the organization and functional properties of the ECM are also dependent on fibronectin matrix polymerization. We have localized several of the ECM-specific effects of fibronectin to a single, cryptic heparin-binding site in the first type III module of fibronectin (FNIII-1). This conformation-dependent, or "matricryptic" site is not exposed in soluble fibronectin, but becomes unmasked during fibronectin matrix formation or as cells and tissues exert tension on ECM fibronectin fibrils. Our exciting new studies, conducted in collaboration with the Sarelius Lab, demonstrate that exposure of this matricryptic site in vivo mechanically couples skeletal muscle contraction with local vasodilation (February 18, 2008 press release). These were the first studies to demonstrate a role for fibronectin fibrils in adult connective tissue in vivo.
Current Research in the Hocking Lab: What questions are we now asking? Current studies are aimed at understanding how the expression of the matricryptic site in fibronectin fibrils is regulated under both normal and pathological conditions, for example in chronic diabetic wounds, and during abnormal pulmonary matrix remodeling in response to cigarette smoke. In collaboration with the Dalecki Lab, we are also investigating the effects of therapeutic ultrasound on the organization and function of the extracellular fibronectin matrix, as a potential therapeutic approach to wound healing and tissue engineering.

Terminating E-Trafficking. (Regulations)
Dahl, Richard, Environmental Health Perspectives
In December 2002, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered American Biotech Labs of Alpine, Utah, to stop selling a product advertised online as an "anthrax killer," it was the fifth time in a 12-month period that the agency had ordered an Internet vendor to stop the sale of such a product. There are no registered products that control anthrax, but the recently highlighted risk of bioterrorist attacks has created a tempting marketplace that some online advertisers seek to exploit with unregistered products bearing unproven claims. And thanks to the ubiquity of Internet access, a frightened public has vast opportunities to locate and purchase these goods.
In fact, the problem of illegal Internet pesticide sales is far broader than a few websites selling bogus anti-anthrax products. Concerned by the proliferation of websites making questionable claims about the pesticides they were selling, the EPA and state health officials embarked on a program in early 2001 to identity and stop offending sites. Their purpose is to ensure that pesticide sales comply with the requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). If they find anyone--a company, a person, or an auction site--making unaccepted claims, such as purporting to kill anthrax, the seller may be ordered to stop and may face civil and criminal penalties, including fines, for offering to sell an unregistered pesticide.
The EPA's focus on electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," has grown as Internet sales have increased. About two years ago, a few state pesticide control officials decided to address the proliferation of websites selling chemicals with dubious powers. "There were an alarming number of websites of companies that were selling misbranded pesticides, unregistered pesticides, and restricted chemicals being sold to uncertified applicators," says Tim Creger, a program manager with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. "Everything that our state and federal pesticide programs are designed to regulate was being counteracted on the web." Creger is active in the Association of American Pesticide Control Officials (AAPCO) and began pushing for greater attention to the new regulatory challenges on the Internet. …

Nevada LLC Hall Directors
Stephanie Jones
Resident Director for the Nevada Living Learning Community
Hi Friends! I'm Stephanie and I am very excited for the upcoming year as it is my 4th year at the institution and 2nd as the RD for the LLC. I am originally from Washington state, although I moved around a lot growing up since my dad is in the Army. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from Washington State University in 2012 (GO COUGS!) and completed my Master's in Educational Leadership in 2014 here at the University of Nevada. I can't wait to spend another year in Reno as I have come to embrace all that it has to offer with the great food and outdoor activities that I can enjoy year round. If you are wanting to hang out I'm generally up for anything, especially if it includes hiking or anything outside as well as going to the movies. But, I also love to sit inside and veg with Netflix, cable, or music since I have a pretty sweet stereo and surround sound system in my apartment
Danielle Callicoat
Graduate Resident Director for The Nevada Living Learning Community
Hi all! My name is Danielle Callicoat and I will be joining the Owls as the Graduate Resident Director in Nevada LLC. I was born and raised in St. Paris, a very small town in Southwest Ohio where there are more cattle than there are people! I recently graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology with emphasis in Marine and Aquatics as well as Ecology and Conservation. Now, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Educational Leadership here at the University of Nevada, Reno! In my free time, I love to travel (both domestically and abroad), to read, to cook, to take pictures, and to make my own cards. I am excited to have a kitchen so be prepared to become my guinea pigs as I try out new recipes! I am a family oriented person and adore my two younger brothers, Zack and Tyler. I have a minor obsession with owls (which makes me even more excited about being a Nevada LLC Owl) although I have a feeling that my mother would tell you that it is more than a 'minor' obsession! I am extremely excited to be joining UNR and getting to know the rest of the Wolf Pack!

The news on Mats Zuccarello's fractured left wrist isn't great. It doesn't appear he will need surgery, but it is a long-term injury, and I'm guessing (not playing doctor) that it's one of those 4-6 week deals as a best-case scenario.

[There's no International Option under State above : I am in not in Alabama]. This Rug is absolutely lovely. Arrived on International Shipment in perfect condition. Sits in pride of place in my living room and goes well with my Bo-Concept Armchair. Check me out in Instagram.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
Wow! I love this rug....very nice quality and exactly what I was hoping for. It is exact to the photo and looks great in person. My only issue is the strong "barn yard" smell that it has when rolled out... but it is a pony rug. The smell doesn't bother me however because it is on an enclosed screen porch.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
Beautiful rug with beautiful colors. It is real cowhide (or feels super real) so you can see the hair and textures. I was surprised how well it transported since it was rolled so tightly but laid out perfectly flat almost immediately. Beautiful statement rug.RECOMMENDED: Yes!

Collected Wisdom: Renaldo Works, former Oklahoma tailback who starred in the 2002 OU-Alabama game
Renaldo Works was a solid OU tailback from 2000-03. He rushed for 1,554 yards and 21 touchdowns in his career, and caught 46 passes for 413 yards. Works also returned to the university after one season in the NFL, obtaining a bachelor's degree in business/finance and a master's degree in entrepreneurship.
But Works is most remembered for one afternoon in Norman. On Sept. 7, 2002, Works was the hero of OU's 37-27 victory over Alabama. Works hadn't touched the ball when the Sooners took the field, trailing 27-23 with 3:33 left in the game. But Works turned two shovel passes into 23- and 39-yard gains, with a variety of Pac-Man moves, including a hurdle of a Bama defender. Works set up the go-ahead touchdown.
Now Works is a senior land man for Conoco-Phillips, and the Sooners are in the Sugar Bowl against Alabama.
How did it happen? Just being ready when they called my name. I wanted to have an opportunity, being nervous, getting my number called, getting a chance to make a play.
I think the defense was probably a little bit tired. Coach (Bob) Stoops was able to pull me in, somebody with fresh legs. They probably thought I was coming in to block. Threw them off a little bit. We hadn't run the shovel play a lot in the past. Only in practice. That probably threw them off. To run it with me was probably a change-up. That caught the defense off. I would like to call it Sooner Magic.
I remember running, but I don't remember the play. It was a play like another to me. Win. That's what I saw. I saw a W. I wanted to score. I wanted us to win. I hate to lose.
I didn't realize how big a deal it was until probably years later. Just to be able to have people wherever I go mention it to me, whenever I was out in the working world or corporate America. At Conoco-Phillips, they would mention the Alabama game. When you're 20 years old, you don't realize how it would impact your life. When I'm negotiating a deal, or just out and about, you have people that will mention that play to me.
OU-Alabama, just super exciting is what I would call it. The battle of the crimsons. Historic programs. Alabama in their own right, a lot of people say they're one of the greatest college teams in history. We have our way of saying we are, too.
Whenever you get those two big programs together, even though a lot of people are counting us out, I still think it's going to be a great game. Those guys are going to play well together. I believe we're going to make it a heck of a game and come out victorious.
I went to Booker T. (Washington in Tulsa). There's a little guy, (OU linebacker) Dominique Alexander, look out for him. That's a little guy I helped recruit a little bit. I was always told to give back. When you see someone who has an opportunity to play at the University of Oklahoma, help them out. I told him it's a good place to come. The alumni support is strong. You're going to get a good education. You'll have ties to the university the rest of your life. You might play professional football, but then you have to figure out what you're going to do the rest of your life. A good degree from the university will pay dividends.
Coach (Bob) Stoops said something to me, if you want to play, the only way you're going to play is if you're academically eligible. I figured no matter what, I was going to bust my tail and stay eligible so I could have the opportunity to play.
My parents pushed academics. And I also had another good mentor, Rocky Bright (of Tulsa Washington). He went to the University of Oklahoma before I got there. He kind of helped me get to that point. He would push me — the bottom line is, you want to get your books, you want to have the opportunity to be successful after football. I passed the same thing along.
The university has been so good to me. They helped me come back, helped me in reaching some of my short-term goals. A lot of guys don't want to go back because of pride. They don't want to feel like they didn't succeed. It's scary to go back feeling like that, especially going back to the same place where you were seen as a hero.

Sam Allardyce: If only my name was Allardici
SAM ALLARDYCE insists he will never be given the chance of managing a top-four team.
I won't ever be going to a top-four club so I think we'll just leave it at that
Big Sam previously said he would win the league or double every year at Chelsea or Manchester United.
But he said: "I won't ever be going to a top-four club so I think we'll just leave it at that.
"Why? The tongue-in-cheek answer is because I'm not called Allardici, just Allardyce.
"I don't ever comment on that any more because other people will jump on the back of it and cause all sorts of comments going here, there and everywhere.
"I understand what I can do, I understand my ability as a manager and I just do my job to the best of my ability wherever I work."
Allardyce believes he may have to calm his players down to face the champions at Upton Park today.
He said: "I have to demotivate them because
they're so hyper for it, they're so up for it, they're so ready for it and they so want to prove themselves against a team like Manchester City these days.
"City have to live with that. They've won the Barclays Premier League for the first time, for a long, long, time. That expectation level grows.
"They say it's even harder to win it the next time around.
"I think that's probably one of the difficulties you may come across.
"It was a huge, huge effort last year to actually win it but, you know, they're the scalp now.
"They are the champions and everybody wants to knock them off their perch, if you like, so it's even harder again.
"Perhaps they've got to live with that and they deserve to live with that by the way they won it last year."

Bush to speak in Irvine on Monday
President Bush is extending his weekend trip to California to speak Monday in Irvine on the volatile issue of immigration reform.
Bush will speak to the Orange County Business Council between 8 and 9 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, according to Myal Greene, spokesman for Rep. John Campbell, R-Irvine.
The president has repeatedly said he favors a comprehensive approach to immigration reform, one that strengthens borders and includes a guest-worker program that matches "willing workers with jobs that Americans won't do." That position puts him at odds with many Republicans in Orange County, including Campbell, who plans to attend the event in his district.
The majority of GOP House members oppose a guest-worker plan.
"The congressman sees this as an opportunity to share his concerns with the president," Greene said.
Legislation to bolster border security, institute a temporary guest-worker program and provide a path to legalization for many of the estimated 12million illegal immigrants in the country stalled in the Senate two weeks ago.
It is slated for further debate when the Senate reconvenes next week.

2012 Jeep JK Wrangler 3.6L
Pentastar Engine Oil Change Write-Up
Changing your engine oil is a necessary part of routine maintenance and really, it's something that anyone can do. In fact, thanks to the design of the all new 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine, it's something that easier to do than ever before. This short write-up will explain in detail what all is involved and just how little you will need to do. And, after you done this on your own, I can almost guarantee that you'll never take your Jeep back to your dealer or a shop to have it done for you again.
What you will need
• 13mm Socket
• Ratchet
• Crescent Wrench
• Small Flathead Screwdriver
• Oil Catch Pan
• Funnel
• Oil Filter Media
• 6 Quarts 5W30 Oil (meets or exceeds MS-6395)
• Empty Milk Jug
• Paper Towles
Brands & Part Numbers
The new 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine does not use a traditional can style oil filter but rather, uses a disposable filter media that is installed into the top of the engine. This makes changing your oil super easy and without any additional mess. The following are 3 different brands along with their part numbers that you can buy including one from your dealership:
• Mopar #68079744A
As far as oil goes, you can use traditional dino oil in your engine but, you need to make sure that meets or exceeds MS-6395 standards.
Here's a shot of everything you will need to change the oil in your 2012 Jeep JK Wrangler. As you can see, you will need 6 quarts of oil, a new filter media, some tools and a means to collect your used oil.
1. Your engine cover is just snapped in place and to remove it, simply grab and lift it up as shown.
2. Located the engine oil filler cap and rotate it counter clockwise until it stops. Do not remove the cap at this time.
3. Climb under your Jeep and place an oil catch pan under the oil pan. Then, using a 13mm socket, loosen but DO NOT remove your engine's oil pan drain bolt.
4. Using your fingers, carefully remove the drain bolt and allow the used oil to drain completely.
5. Once completely drained, reinstall the drain bolt using a 13mm socket.
6. Back up on top, locate the oil filter cap and use a crescent wrench to unscrew it.
7. Carefully remove the filter cap with filter media attached as shown.
8. Firmly grab the filer media and pull it off of the filter cap as shown.
9. Use a small flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off and remove the rubber O-Ring installed on the filter cap.
10. Take the new O-Ring that came with your new filter media and apply some of your old engine oil to it.
11. Install the new O-Ring onto your filter cap.
12. Install your new filter media onto the filter cap by pushing it in to it until it snaps in place.
13. Carefully reinstall your filter cap with new filter media attached back into the top of your engine.
14. Using a crescent wrench, carefully tighten the filter cap back in place. Please note that this cap is plastic and will break so make sure to NOT overtighten it.
15. Remove the engine oil fill cap.
16. Insert a funnel into the fill hole and pour in 6 quarts of oil.
17. Reinstall your engines oil fill cap.
18. Reinstall your engine cover by snapping it into place.
19. Assuming you've been having your "Change Oil" indicator light turn on your dash, this is what you will need to do to turn it off:
1) Turn your ignition to the ON position but, DO NOT start your engine.
2) Push in your accelerator pedal to the floor 3 times.
3) Turn your Ignition to the OFF position.
That's all there is to it. As mentioned, super simple and easily something that anyone can do. Please be sure to clean up your mess and take your used oil to a recycling center. Most autoparts store such as PepBoys, Kragen/Checkers will take your used oil free of charge. Please let me know if you have any questions.

When using Mobile1 (or other synthetics) how long can you go between changes? The maintenance schedule says you should change your oil every 3,000 miles but I'm pretty sure that is for traditional oil.
JK Dude May 25th, 2012 2:24 pm
I love that style oil filter. Looks almost identical to the oil filter I had on my 2005.5 VW Jetta Diesel. The fuel filter on the Jetta was just as easy to replace
wayoflife May 29th, 2012 1:11 am
on a 2012, the service interval is 8000 miles
Javacowboy June 1st, 2012 11:34 am
Might be worth mentioning the procedure to reset the "Change Oil" status.
1) Ignition on (but not started).
2) briskly depress accelerator 5 times.
3) Ignition off.
wayoflife June 1st, 2012 1:02 pm
thanks for the reminder javacowboy, i will add it now.
Riptide June 5th, 2012 4:46 pm
Thanks for this!! Am tightening my budget, and this was something that I knew I could easily do myself. $70 saved!
Nick June 6th, 2012 6:55 pm
The manual says "under no circumstances should oil change intervals EXCEED 8,000 miles". Please note that is NOT the recommended interval! To further clarify, in regards to the "Change Oil" message that may be displayed on your EVIC, the manual also says, "Depending on operating conditions, the message may appear as early as 3,500 miles since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced within the next 500 miles." In other words, you may need to change your oil as early as 3500, but never later than 8000 miles. POINT: Do NOT use the 8,000 mile marker as your regular interval or you will likely regret it!
SoCalGSXR June 8th, 2012 3:58 pm
After seeing this, I had to try it. And holy lord…why would I ever pay someone to do this, and wait? It took all of 20 minutes(including finding my tools, lol) and I'm done and clear. Thanks for the write up! Oh, and according to the manual, it's not 5 times, its 3 slow, but full depressions within 10 seconds, then ignition off. Just FYI. Of course, this could just be for the '12.. I'm not sure if it's different for earlier models.
dustpick June 9th, 2012 9:52 am
I use Mobile one synthetic on my 09 JK and it recommends every 10k miles. Worth the extra money!
RLT June 10th, 2012 2:45 pm
I guess this is similar to a 2.8L Diesel
Anyone got a link to a nice picture procedure like this .. or indeed would like to post one.
Plus one for the fuel filter would be nice aswell.
A lot of CRD owners would be most greatful inc me !
jonlee June 12th, 2012 3:37 am
No dipstick to check? Just put in 6quarts?
wayoflife June 12th, 2012 9:44 am
if you do a full drain, yep, just put in 6 and go.
Jarred July 4th, 2012 7:51 am
I am getting close to the first service at 10000km ,7800km so far should i change the oil or just leave it till i put it in for a service?
Rod July 11th, 2012 4:10 pm
As I recall, the oil from the filter canister was released into the sump when I opened the filter. It may be a good idea to wait to replace/re-install the drain plug until after you have changed the filter. It is a small amount of dirty oil remaining, but worth getting out as much as possible.
Lynda July 13th, 2012 12:48 pm
Thanks for this!! I'm going to finally do it myself!
Keldo July 15th, 2012 8:15 pm
I personally use Royal Purple in all of my vehicles to include my jeeps. I change about every 5K miles. Drain complete and add 6 Quarts. Never had any issues. Royal Purple is a racing synthetic that sells for about $6 a Quart up here in Washington but well worth the money in regards to engine life.

The only recommendation I would make is to get the appropriate size socket for the oil filter. It's a huge PITA to try to get in there with a crescent wrench.
legi0n September 27th, 2012 2:42 pm
the WIX #57144 was recalled for a thinner than spec O ring.
It's been replaced by WIX #57526
the filter socket is 15/16 or 24mm

"As far as oil goes, you can use traditional dino oil in your engine but, you need to make sure that meets or exceeds MS-6395 standards"
Have you looked at the Mobil 1 label lately? They haven't been certifying that it meets MS-6395 for quite some time now.

Ams-Oil is what I use in all my cherokees, do you think converting to Syn-oil after 6 k miles in my new Wrangler is ok? Or should I WAIT after 15 k miles like my Cherokee / new ATK manufacture/ said?
wayoflife October 19th, 2012 10:45 am
were you given a good reason why you shouldn't change out to synth sooner?
Anon999 October 31st, 2012 5:08 pm
Usually you want to do the first few oil changes more often than the normal interval. Initial engine wear is a lot less than it used to be, but it's still there and dino oil will catch the particles well enough. Using synthetic early on is just a waste of money because you're not leaving it in long enough to take advantage of its longer life, and the duration of using dino oil isn't going to harm anything in the long-term. If you want to track things, send a sample to Blackstone Labs to be analyzed. It's cheap and informative on the condition of your engine components and will show you how your oil change duration holds up against reality.

Totally agree with Rod. Before replacing the drain plug, change the filter first. This will ensure you get as much dirty oil out as possible. Great write up. Thank you.

Beware of cheap filters. Could not find a filter for my 2012 JK. The only one in stock was a industrial filter. The filter failed, collapsed and triggered check engine light. Recommend using Mopar brand if under warranty. I use Fram on my other Jeeps PH16, 3614 for TJ and 07 JK. I will stock Mopar cartridges for my weekend oil changes. The filter was correct fit for Jeep, using synthetic Mobil 1. Only 8k miles, factory filters only for me.

Man, can't believe how easy it was to change that new filter. Actually I didn't do it, my 10 yr old little girl did:)
ChrisO January 26th, 2013 12:23 pm
Awesome write-up I am so doing this myself. Question though. Can I just replace my dino oil with synthetic or do I have to do something special in other to do that?
ChrisO January 26th, 2013 12:24 pm
Correcting typo: Sorry
Awesome write-up I am so doing this myself. Question though. Can I just replace my dino oil with synthetic or do I have to do something special in order to do that?
So following all your steps, but instead of dino oil just using Synthetic instead will the engine be ok with the change?
wayoflife January 27th, 2013 11:23 am
Nothing special is needed. You can just make the switch.
rob slayton January 27th, 2013 3:23 pm
is there a torque limit for the oil drain plug and the oil filter nut
justin mercure February 14th, 2013 1:26 am
Rob Slayton, 18 Foot Pounds for the filter housing cap (But don't quote me on it)Can anyone confirm? Curious if that is the right setting or not myself….
Jim Fitzgerald April 23rd, 2013 6:04 pm
I would suggest you add 5 quarts then add as needed,My 2013 will only take 5 1/2
quarts . i've heard this from other owners as well.
PeterS May 4th, 2013 10:35 am
Great write-up - my dealer charges more for the jeep than other vehicles "because of the extra work involved in removing the skid plates". What a pile of c**p!
Mike July 28th, 2013 9:11 am
Interesting… My 2013 says it takes 5-20. Anyone know the reason they made the change??
Steve April 4th, 2014 12:44 pm
Synthetic oil: beware of the detergent breakdown over time. Viscosity breakdown is probably negligible, but the detergents in oil are very important too. Don't use synthetic oil if you drive your vehicle relatively few miles is what I hear from mechanics.
Smitha325 April 23rd, 2014 11:55 pm
My own wife and I fell over here by a poles apart trap forward also contemplated I'd personally restraint points unconscious. I like exactly what I envision i really am located absolutely charting you. Look forward to dccbkedkaeacbked
Cockroach June 17th, 2014 7:21 pm
Thanks. I'm old school and spent an hour underneath looking for the filter.
beelp July 3rd, 2014 9:01 am
A few comments (pertaining to the Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar): 1) NAPA Gold oil filter for the 2014 3.6 is 100010 (made by WIX). Same quality as the WIX 10010, same filter. PLEASE NOTE the '14 filter will NOT work on prior years.
2) Don't wait to switch to a synthetic until 10k or 15k miles. That is too long.
3) The required oil is on the filler cap. Some years it's 5W30, other years 5W20.
Mike G September 12th, 2014 5:08 pm
I have been involved with engine designing and building since I was a kid on the farm.
I have seen many motors fail for many reasons. But a Wix oil filter in place, particle contamination has never been cause for engine failure. I can not say that for a couple of the auto part house major off the shielf replasement standards.
D.S. February 6th, 2015 1:55 pm
The 2014 Wrangler requires 5-20 weight oil and the nut on the filter is 15/16″

The way to optimize oil mileage and minimize cost is to A) Use the highest quality of synthetic, and B) have your oil analyzed at every change. Over the last 15 years this has lead me to use Mobil 1 EP (extended performance) in our regular-use vehicles. M1 claims that the EP line is good for 15,000 miles, but you only do run that far if the oil reports come back clean. So I always work up any new-to-us vehicle by starting with the first interval with M1 EP at 8,000 miles and then gradually work it up (here you could save a little by using M1 non-EP for this "short run"). Our Suburban oil reports look good every time at 14k miles but starts to turn south at 15k. Other cars we own work better at around 12-13k, while my son's BMW 325 would garner clean reports at 9K with dino oil and no better with synth so we just used the cheaper stuff. Blackstone-labs.com does our spectroanalysis for $25/sample which is easily recovered thru reduced oil & filter changing frequency. In 2 cases we liquidated a vehicle when their oil reports showed trouble–a '98 Malibu 4-cyl @150k miles owned from new and a VW Eos 2.0T at 50k with dealer oil changes also owned from new. In 2 other cases we were able to set the engines straight by way of 2 or 3 quick oil changes and a brand switch (away from Amsoil to M1; I'll never go back to Brand A) and those engines reported cleanly from that point forward–200k miles so far in the case of the Suburban. For our new Jeep Rubicon Unlimited, we'll switch to M1 at 5,000 miles coming up soon. I'm convinced that oil spectroanalysis is the way to go to save engines, conserve resources and reduce expenses.

Good write up one mistake though you are supposed to change the cartridge first then drain the oil and I'm 100 percent on this I do them all day for Chrysler
Chris May 31st, 2015 11:51 am
Thank you for this, especially with the photos. I just changed my oil yesterday. Super simple and affordable.I will never take it to a dealership ever again. They over charge and over tighten everything.
The drain plug and the filter cap were so tight I had use a vise grip to get them loose. I will definitely get a 23mm for the filter cap to make it easier.
Glenn R November 6th, 2015 10:15 am
First…great article, very informative.
My 2012 jk has aproc.85000 miles (I bought it with alot of highway miles). Its due for a oil change and I have no idea which type has been used previous - conventional,synthetic or something in between. Looking for educated opinion on what's best to use.
Also thought on MARVEL MO, I use it in my 2000 xj with 180000 an that run like brand new.

"Cutting the cheese" is simply the act of slicing various types of cheese, putting them beautifully displayed on a silver tray, adding condiments around the various cheese (the more expensive, the better), then when no one is looking, putting the cheese up to your anal canal and farting on as much as possible.
"The cheese has an exceptional flavor. Our hostess is a specialist at cutting the cheese, and knows how to flavor the white wine too... so it turns yellow and goes with the slices of weird smelling cheese.

Sounders FC's roster keeps changing as training camp continues. The team made a trade over the weekend and will bring in more players between now and when the team heads to California for more practices.
RENTON — Seattle Sounders FC's roster continues to evolve, even though training camp is into its second week.
Seattle dealt a conditional draft pick to the Houston Dynamo for defender Patrick Ianni, who worked out with the team Monday. Also, Sounders FC is expecting Osvaldo Alonso, a midfielder from Cuba who was the United Soccer Leagues First Division Rookie of the Year in 2008 for the Charleston Battery, to join the team by today.
Alonso, 23, scored seven goals with two assists in 31 games for the Battery. He defected from the Cuban national team during the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Ianni, also 23, was part of two Major League Soccer championship squads in Houston in 2006 and 2007. Seattle loses its second-round pick in the 2010 SuperDraft to the Dynamo if Ianni plays in 20 or more MLS regular-season and playoff games or its third-round pick if Ianni plays fewer than that.

"Obviously Patrick Ianni is a player I know well, having coached him with the under-20 national team," coach Sigi Schmid said. "He was a starting center back for me there. At Houston, he would have probably liked to have played more games, so however it works out, sometimes a player needs a change of scenery … I think Patrick's going to have a good run here in Seattle."
Seattle parted ways with four former USL Sounders — defender-midfielder Nik Besagno, forward Andre Schmid, forward Jason Cascio and forward Craig Tomlinson. Two of those spots will be filled by Ianni and Alonso this week. Midfielder Peter Vagenas, rookie defender Jared Karkas and possibly forward Quavas Kirk are expected to debut with Seattle next week when camp moves to Southern California.
Rookie Michael Fucito, Sounders FC's fourth-round draft pick, is dealing with a hamstring injury and it's unclear when he'll be able to practice. He has yet to report to the team.
Ianni gives Seattle depth at center back, where the team has four other players it can use there. His previous MLS experience was also key for Sounders FC.
"I just felt this was the best place for me to continue developing," Ianni said. "Everything's top notch here, so I'm very happy."
