Whats the best oil?
I have a 2004 King Cab SE 4x4 with 89,300 miles, about to hit 90k...I've been meaning to do the oil change and I'm going to do it myself, but I don't know what is the best for my truck at this many miles. I've owned the truck for almost a month now and the engine runs great and I've taken it off road a couple times now its a blast and I'm really happy with it overall. Anywho, I checked the oil and it is alittle on the low end of the dipstick but the oil isn't that dirty, so I just wanted some suggestions as to what you guys use in your trucks that are at the same mileage that I am at.

Re: Whats the best oil?
I've been using Mobil 1 synthetic oil for years in all of my cars. Truth be told though the best oil to use is any oil that meets the manufacturers recommended specifications.
There was another thread on this subject awhile back where someone posted lab results for different weights of oils at different mileage intervals. Do a search and you should be able to find it pretty easy. |

Re: Whats the best oil?
He probably posted it under the "Truck Care" section rather than the "Detailing" section...
