Default Engine oil and 2 cycle?

Ok so I was looking at a local farm supply store last night (rural king) at oils and what not. What is everyone running 15-40 rotella? Or 1030? How many quarts do these take? I saw some amsoil but it was only in the quart for like 7-9 bucks a quart:eek:. they had rotella in 2.5 gallon jugs for like 30 sumthing and in the 1 gallon for 13.65 or something. Next is 2 cycle to add to fuel. I couldn't remember and got confused on if it should have to tcw 3 in it or NOT. Please help me out as im new to dodge motors. Thanks
Adam

Rotella 15-40 is the best in my opinion. Everyone I know agrees on Rotella... I think its 3 gallon jugs will do ya. I have sleep since my last oil change so you "might" be good with 3.

15-40 Rotella, I don't run 2 stroke oil I need to. Just make sure it is ash-less.

I run the cheap 2 stroke oil from wal mart.I'm pretty sure it's TC3 and put a small bottle every fill up.
