they say if you run the same engine oil in your truck ever since day one
that it will last longer.
of course you would have to buy the truck brand new to start with.

i run rotella in my rig.

my g/f's car she bought it brand new and ever since i have only used Mobil 1
synthetic

I don't worry about the engine...with normal maintenance, the body will fall off the truck well before the engine needs anything...
