DO NOT get any kind of "energy conserving" 5W-30, it'll shear down to a 20 grade in no time and you'll be rolling the dice.
Great response Scotty! I was just reading about that this AM. Seems the Rotella makes good oil. I'll be sure to pick this up when I'm due. Which I realize is actually within 100 miles not 1000. :lol:
