Hey Ralph,

I believe that is cheaper then regular oil, at least in my area......
The only problem is, 5w30 is it, again, at least in my area.
Take care!!

*shrugs*

I'm running Rotella Gas Engine 5W30 in my truck; with the recent exhaust system changes, I'm fluttering about 19MPG now. I can't complain.

If the motor is fairly tight, you've got a Mopar PCV valve, and it's not leaking, 5W30 is a good weight for most people most locales until summer, and some even then.

Shucks, my 88 recommends 5W30 for up to 100F, and that's for dino oil (disclaimer: Yes, I know, current thinking is that it's not actually dinosaurs) not a synthetic.

EDIT: I order my Rotella off Amazon as a Prime member; if all you can find is 5W30 and you want to run something different, check there and Walmart.COM for people who will ship to you, or to either you or the Walmart store nearest you.s

Nah, 5-30 is fine for me. I am building a 5.9 and have a 10-10 turned crank, and new cam bearings.... Should be tight. I was meaning, no 5-20 10-30 etc. only 5.30 is available.
