That's the same as saying "none". You put a lot of miles on the truck on a
regular basis, do you not? Do you put a lot of stock in all sythetic oil as
opposed to 1/4 sythetic?
I have debated that with myself and still have not come to any
conclusion.Last spring while climbing up Cajon Pass a line to the oil
cooler blew. I did not have enough oil with me so drove to a nearby
Target. All they had was Castrol dino juice. I topped off with that and
ran the rest of the trip. I recently changed oil and went back to Castrol
synthetic. I am going to see if there is any difference in oil
consumption. Also the front seal is weeping a very little bit and I will
keep an eye on it to see if it changes.
