I'm running ro-smella (which I love the smell of), but I'm thinking about switching over on the oil change after the next one. Truck is an 04.5, and I only have 44k on it. Hope it's time.

I switched over to Amsoil 15W-40 CI-4+ and the Eao80 oil filter last year for 2 reasons: 1) I only put 8000 to 10,000 miles a year on the truck and I can extend the oil change to once a year, 2) To see if I can pick up a little fuel mileage. I just did an oil sample with 4000 miles on the oil and the SOS looked excellent. The fuel mileage front is a little cloudy, I did the dyna-trac locking hub conversion, F-1 mach 1.2 injectors, and the switch to Amsoil all around the same time. I am seeing a solid 2 mpg gain but I spent a lot of money getting there, so if I didn't get the other benefits from the modifications I probably couldn't justify the money spent for fuel mileage.
Regards, Mike.

Most of the time oil is oil, but some of the synthetics can offer better protection in extreme conditions, like when I lost my water pump
