Re: What kind of oil to use?
Over the years (30) There has been so many different brands of oil out there. They all say they are the best. There is only sure thing, change it often 3000 miles & 3-6 months. Always use a new filter too.
There are special oils for special conditions, engine type, ect. Most of the time they don't apply to the general motoring public.
Use a current and correct type oil for your engine.
I have never seen or heard of any engine failure from changing the oil too much!
Your driving habits can affect how much contaminates build up in your oil, and how often it should be changed.
Also don't go crazy about "how dirty my oil looks" and changing it every 1000 miles. This is a waste of money and makes you neurotic.
Enjoy your truck, like I do.
