Decide for me

[Birdman476]

Hello all, I am new here and wanted to get everyone's opinion on my oil selection. I currently have Tropartic, Rotella T5, and Durablend in 10w30. I also have Mobil 1 afe 0w30 and VWB sae 30. I'm currently using the Tropartic and topping off with the VWB. I burn a quart every 1500-2000 miles. I'm anxious to use all of this oil I've accumulated and wanted input. Current oci is 3k just because I have so much oil. I would likely go longer if i used the mobil 1.

The vehicle is a 2001 Ram 1500 5.9 liter with 190,000 miles. Filter is a Wix 51515.

Mix it all together in one big container and go from there.

This would definitely simplify things.

Durablend 10w30 + VWB SAE30 mixed 3/2 for the summer for 3000 miles.

M1 AFE for the winter. 6000 miles.

Rotella T5 next summer for 6000 miles.

Tropartic or Durablend 10W30 is a good year round choice or spring and fall of you drive enough miles. 3000 miles.

All of those could likely go llonger but you said you wanted shorter runs.

PS Have you checked the belly pan on the underside of the intake to make sure it isn't sucking oil in there?
