I inherited my dad's 1998 Chevy Silverado with 5.7L Vortec in 2011. It had 22K miles on it when I started driving it. Now it has 43K miles. As you can see, it doesn't get driven much. When it does get driven it's usually just for a 15 mile round trip into town or maybe a 10 mile round trip to our other property. The only time it really gets heated up is maybe every other month if I go somewhere to buy lumber or haul something.
I change the oil and filter once a year but I'm wondering if there's a particular type of oil I should be using that is optimized for this sort of usage?
