Valvoline Premium Blue. Since 1995. Never any problems. Best bang for the buck. Smells good too.

I have run everything from Super-Tech 15w-40 to Petro Canada Synthetic for the winter time.
Oddly enough, I got my best mileage with the Wal-Mart Super Tech 15w-40.
I mainly run Delo 15w-40.

Castrol Tection because it was on sale. Normally Delvac 1300s. The Castrol is a smelly oil, but not as strong as Rotella.

Since I sometimes travel around a bit, and have oil change done at a dealer, I get what ever they put in. Right now it is "Mopar" the service adviser sez tat is Exxon. With all the different oils that have been in the truck I have not noticed any great difference in performance or MPG.
