I run Amsoil oil and filter. Just put just under 2,000 miles on the oil on a strait run from Miami to Charlotte, still nice and clear oil !

Yip. Premium Blue every time, every truck. Ran it in my '99 and now the '02. Fleetguard filters and junk.

schaeffer oil

I run Schaeffer 5/40 all year round. If you can find a better oil than schaeffer, it will probably cost you double!!!

What Oil

I am running Amsoil 15W-40 with the dual bypass filter system. AO SG 75W-140 in the rear, amsoil 75W-90 in the front and AO Atf+4 in the xfer case. Still running OEM fill in the 6spd.
I Have used these oils in all of my vehicles for close to 20 years. I run 1 year 25K change intervals on the gassers when running only a FF filter and about 50K when running the dual bypass. I hate changing oil! By the way when I pull a valve cover the engines are very clean!
