    Dennis Garber (Gypsy Racing) is a dealer, and can get you a good price on Amsoil...if you PM him he can give you the 411, and you can have it delivered to the comfort of your own home :)

    Guys-

    Thanks for all of the susgestions, I'm going to try the Shell Rotella this time, but I think next time I'm in Wally Wolrd I'll pick up some 5W-40 Mobile 1 Truck and SUV oil. I figure I'll give them all a try. Anyone have any advice on filters, should I stick with OEM? Has anyone tried the Scotts re-useable filter???

    Thanks

    A couple notes...remember that the Rotella T comes in synthetic and non-synthetic. The one you want at Wally World is the 5W40 Synthetic. Also, the brown cap Mobil 1 "Extended Life" is 5W30, and is another one that is not "energy conserving. It's $24 for 5 quarts, and the Rotella T Synth. is $13/gallon.

    Never tried a Scotts oil filter but I saw an article stating that it has too coarse of a mesh filter and will pass more junk than just about any of the other filters out there. Not sure of the accuracy of that info but it's worth looking into. Not to mention the price. It doesn't sound like much of a bargain.

    I think I'm going to stick with the Shell Rotella Synthetic for a few months and see how it works out.


    Thanks
