Im not sure what oil to use for this upcoming oilchange. I have about 72 thou , so i went ahead and bought the Vavoline MAXLIFE for higher milage trucks. but im not sure if its the BEST oil... and does the oil really mattter how the motor performs?

 

Jusy use whatever is onsale, all those gimmick oils do very little if anything toward preserving engine life. I use Chevron, Havoline, Quaker State, or whatever is on sale. We(my dads boat shop) build 700-1000 HP B/B Chevrolet for use in off-shore race boats, they all get get Delo 400(get a great deal on it buying in bulk).

 

thanks man....ill stick with this stuf that i just bought b.c i got a good deal on it...appreciate the advice.

 

ya motor oil is just motor oil.

The only way you'll notice a differnce is if you were comparing somthing like Wal-mart super tech oil to AMSOIL sythetic oil there you'd notice a difference....

But thats comparing $0.84/QT oil to $8.50/QT oil.........

but the $.84/QT to the $3.25/QT oil there is no difference use Super tech it's just fine.......Mopar's ain't worth more then $1.75/QT oil anyway......unless it's a 1978 or older......
