I'm sure there is, actually there has to be because i've seen em before, personally i'd go with a fully synthetic being as a rotella t 5-40 synthetic is only $18 a gallon at Wal-mart it's cheap enough IMO to run in any truck

Depends you can go 10K on dino oil no real need for syn unless you want to go past that unless you just want syn. Delo, Rotella, and Delvac are good dinos.

Running Delvac 1 5w-40. Though it's $8 something a quart, can run 10k before an oil change.

I use Amsoil in everything...


Best there is period!!!

As far as caving money, Amsoil has the others beat as well, get with Heath here on the site and let him show you what they can do for you...

God Bless
