I am running synthetics in the hope that it will not sludge up as bad. The rodeo motor is real hard on the oil from everything I have seen. Go over to bitog and look around for debates on which oil. The big benefit with synthetic is extended drain capability. I have just finished a double auto-RX and am finishing up the cleanse phase. I plan on running some cheap supertech full synthetic 10w30 and see how it feels. This has been posting some good UOA's over at bitog. I also have a couple jugs of amsoil 10w30 that I really like but not sure how many miles I can keep it in the rodeo. My main objective is keeping the tick away. I have a 97 v6 with 125K on the clock. My rodeo burns some oil so I prob will switch to a heavier grade. Rotella 5w40 or 15w40 looks like it would do well in this motor. I think Ramblin Fever has run this in his rodeo.
