oil is an opinion thing. I ran silkolene 20w-40 for a while, now i run Rotella 15w-40. Either is great, but some people are very picky about oil. The mechanic at teh shop i work at suggest rotella and that all he runs and all the shop sell for oil changes.

I'm using Amsoil 0w 40 full synthetic now and I'm glad I made the switch from GN4.

I agree, Shell Rotella is the shizznit. And I have run the 5w40 full synthetic Rotella T since Mobil 1 switched formulas and have been very satisfied. Very high quality heavy duty synthetic :o ;)
