What part of NO don't you understand? Do NOT put waste oil in a truck that is 98.5 or newer.
Basically early 98's still have the 12 valve engine and they can burn waste oil. The 24 valves that started in 98.5 canot burn the waste oil without damaging the injector pump, which is a several thousand dollar repair.
