Default Oil

This is for what oil you reccomend/use...

The choices below are synthetics if you use conventional click that.....

Hemi before mds 5w-30
with mds 5w-20

also for filters either wix, amsoil, or mobil 1 they came back with the best test results in past posts......

Default RE: Oil

I am running Mobil 1 synthetic Extended Performance - rated for 15K or 1 year - will change at 7500 miles.

Also using a Mobil 1 filter. - Once I regear I will be using Mobil 1 synth. in the axles as well.

I would be using Amsoil - but I didn't like the fact that it wasn't as readily available. - That was the determining factor for me.

Default RE: Oil

I run Amsoil Diesel Engine Oil as well as Amsoil absolute efficiency filters, rated at 24,000 miles or one year although until I get to higher mielages and the engine is more broken in I will be changing every 10k...

Amsoil is only difficult to get your hands on when you don't know a dealer..

I just put in amsoil recently but will probably switch to mobile 1 just because I can get it at walmart and dont have to pay for shipping.
