I have made the switch to Premium Blue for this reason.

MikeyB, Have you done an oil analysis on it after running it in your truck? Is this the VPB "classic"?

I have been running the PB CJ oil for quite a long time with good analysis results. I only go 5,000 miles but the results are very positive.

Robert,

It's PB CJ-4. Not the CI-4 Classic.

I wanted something that has a high TBN since I'm running 'dirty' fuel now. And plus everytime I turn around either Autozone or Advance Auto has it on sale.
