I think I'm gonna use the Rotella Gas Truck as well, probably in both vehicles.

I really appreciate the help. I was thinking it was 5w30 but I haven't looked at the manual yet. My commute is about 80hwy/20 city so maybe I'd be ok with longer intervals. Getting an oil analysis would help determine how long to run it right?

I'll do that, I've never had an oil analysis done and I know absolutely nothing about what the numbers mean haha. That's why I'm here though. I'm gonna do some reading.

I'm not really loyal to Mobil 1. I've always heard that it is good oil. I don't really have a reason why but I've always usually run Valvoline conventional over the years. Is the Motorcraft synthetic blend oil good stuff?

Hey guys I'm just looking for a little advice on a good OCI and oil type for my truck. Yesterday I purchased a 2016 F150 with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I have never had a turbocharged vehicle before but I've heard between the turbos and direct injection they are pretty tough on oil. I believe the book...

It acts pretty good, but it does have a little flare sometimes on the 1-2 only when it's cold. I always thought the changing old fluid was a myth. Maybe not I just didn't know what the reasoning was behind it.

Hey everyone its been a while since I've been on here. I recently sold my old truck and the wife and I bought a Highlander for her. I inherited the Camry she has been driving. She has owned the car since new but it now has 203k miles on it. We have been together for a couple years and in that...

It was an 83 year old man who I bought the truck from. I kind of like the security and the dry storage in the bed, but to me it does look like an old man truck. With that said I put it on Craigslist but no bites yet. What do you guys think a fair price would be for a camper shell?

Here she is, figured everybody likes pics... That was a pic I took before I bought it.

Wow I wasn't expecting so many replies so quick. This engine so far is pretty quiet. I have a buddy with an 02 4.8L and sometimes his sounds like a diesel but he has about 130k on his now. This truck doesn't have the oil life monitor I don't think that started until 03 or so. I usually do 5-6k...

First post here I just bought a 99 GMC Sierra with a 4.8L V8 and 4L60e 4 speed auto transmission. I had planned on driving the Ranger for a few more years before buying something else but I came across this truck and got a once in a lifetime deal on it. It has 49k original miles and seems to...
