shell rotella (fleet) oil has always been very highly ranked.
I'm with chili here. 0 weight oil seems pretty darn thin. I'm running 20W50 and have been for 8 years. (my oil pressure seems just too low with 10W30. I think I damaged the engine with 10w30 flat towing a CJ7 to Moab and back.)
I change it every 5,000 miles because it it too hard to keep track of the 3k interval. 126,000, 129,000...258,000... Much easier to keep track of 130,000, 135,000 ... 260,000.
Yep. wWhatever I'm doin' "Wrong" with my 5,000 mile oil changes with 20W50 has gotten me to 260,000 miles. I lost cam seals and valve cover seals when I put in 5 qts of non-synthetic 20W50 that my father in law gave me at 255,000. I think that is just coincidence. I have seen no difference in mileage or performance with various makes of synthetic oil. Wal-mart to Mobile 1. It all looks the same going in and coming out. Castrol seems to burn a little more, but that's about it. Most of the time I've used mobile 1, but I've also used wal-mart synthetic. I just use whatever I can find in 20W50. If I have choices, I shop price.
