Their oil filters are suprisingly good quality(better than Frap). That is a first for Walmart having good quality!

Run Amsoil synthetic in everything. I run my truck 20k between oil changes. I love the look on peoples faces when I tell them that. Amsoil is the best. They are the only ones who will back it up in writing.

I guess that's assuming that your truck doesn't burn any oil whatsoever in 20k miles? Im sure you have to ad least add some?

I use around a qt and a half at the most. Depends on how hard I run it. My Jeep wrangler on the other hand doesn't use any in 20k.
