I usually don't post here very often. I'm more of a lurky lew.
I'm currently running Amsoil 0w30 with a SDF filter and I couldn't be happier with the way the truck runs. My truck BTW is a 98 Ford Ranger with a 2.5L dual plug 4banger
The oil and filter have about 7000 miles on it, yea I know it's pushing it alittle. So I would like to try a diff oil and I've been reading about some good oils you can buy locally which I'm all for.
Both Mobil and Chevron Delo synthetic are good oils, if not top notch oils for being off the shelf. I have learned that using the 0w oils are better for start up situations and faster lubrication, thus far making for less wear. I have chosen to stick with 0w30 seeing I don't pull any trailers or haul anything heavy and I 99% of the time I use my truck for general running around and so forth. 0w30 should suit me fine
I have no doubt in my mind that Amsoil makes a killer oil but it's getting to be a royal pain in the butt for me to order then having to wait a week, it gets old after awhile. Which is why I want to buy locally. So if you had a decision between mobil or chevron delo synthetic which one would you go??? please no bashing. I'm just asking for a simple opnion and answer. Thanks,,,,AR
p.s I havn't decided what filter to use yet. I'm thinking mobil with either oil. Though in bob's filter test thread, the mobil was on the strict side If I remember correctly. I was just looking on chevrons site and I can't seem to find a 0w30 synthetic, that blows. I'm still open for opinions
