Hey guys... what weight do you guys recommend with syn oil, i have an 02 4.7, I run 5w30 but with the oil being a lil thinner should i go heavier weight?? I live in canada to so i was thinking something heavier in the summer and something lighter in the winter.

RE: Best Synthetic Oil
Amsoil is a MLM system, much like Avon and other get rich quick systems. The oil is OK, although it tends to thicken over time. Mobil-1 is a better choice, long term independent tests confirm it.

Unless your truck is a oli burner, lighter oil is better, summer and winter, the days of 10/30 20/50 oil are over, unless your still driving a older car built up to the late 80's. Heaver oil takes longer to burn if you have a oil burner with poor rings or valve seals.
5/20 is best, all year....
Concur with that. 5W30 is all you need and if my eyes didnt deceive me, I think I saw 5W20 on the dipstick of my GF's newly bought '05 Ram 1500 and if thats true for you then you're still ahead if you go 5W30.
