Just thought I'd post.
I went to pep boys and bought 6 qts. of Mobil 1 Truck/SUV (~$38). Took it to the dealer. They only made me pay for the filter. 12 bucks...maybe 8 can't remember...cause I was also there for another slight popping noise in the intermediate shaft that returned after an original replacement 2 weeks ago. Sewell in Dallas is the best. Service unequalled by any.
Truck had 1200 miles on it.
Not to sound like a tard but I can seriously tell a little more pep from the ole I-5. No kiddin. I expected nothing. Just wanted to ensure the engine's longevity.

Synthetic is a vastly better lubricate !!! And if there is any weakness in the valve guides I would definitely want to use a synthetic. There is less friction and thus heat with a synthetic. I use Mobil 1 synthetic in all my cars except the 85 Ford Tempo beater. It is factory fill and required in my Z06 as it is in the AMG Mercedes, Porsche, Aston Martin, Viper, McLaren, GT40 ... you get the idea.

Syn is the way to go IMO. Although debated over for years, I think syn is your best bet. The extra life, noise reduction, and lubrication for shifting is a real plus. It seems oil has advanced over the course of time and motors aren't being damaged due to oil breakdown like they used to I think its a safe bet to throw syn in every hole you got!

(Castrol Syntec)
Jeez Dennis, you're like my twin thinker. I've used different Syn's form Mobil 1 to Royal Purple and Castrol Syntec. I stuck with the Syntec a while back, not sure why other than some friends who run top fuel always swore by it, and I liked it enough to just stay with it. Never noticed enough difference in any of my engines to rate one synthetic higher than the other. Must be the Black Bottle.

WOW, it is surprising in this day and age how uniformed people are regarding oils & oil changes and filters. Not only in this forum, but the others I belong to. Being that I am an engineer, and into numbers and quality, I'm the type that needs proof and evidence to support your theory, your thinking or your evidence on your choice(s) or recommendation. Synthetics oils will always be superior to dino oils. Why? because it can take more heat, that simple. Before I open up a can of worms sorta speak, I would like to share a few sites with yall. Which ones are the best synthetics oils? Get ready to be surprised on the good, the bad, and the ugly. Why one of your Site Supporters IS the best, Amsoil, second best? BP Visco 5000, 3rd & 4th best? Mobil 1--yes Mobil 1. Proof? You say you want Proof? OK, here we go people, do some reading, inform yourself, check out the different links at these sites. Research, do a little homework. Eliminate myths from facts. Even with these sites I'll give you, ALWAYS be Skeptical, don't trust everything you read, don't beleive or fall for everything your told, however, with the combination of reading & researching these things, you would be amazed on how uninformed we are, and how dealers, the jiffy lubes and the good beers, eeerrr good years, take advantage of vehicle owners, especially the women & uninformed men once detected by the service provider. To get this rolling I would like to share a few sites I found researching this stuff since August of last year. Remember, read, be skeptical, ask questions and don't beleive everything, what you will learn perhaps will give you away to defend yourself and save money at the same time. Enjoy, it can take some time reading at some sites, esp if you check out the links, my goal with this, to share some knowledge with my new friends here.

Some sites information is older than others, however facts are facts, time will not change these findings IMHO. If you think differently, prove it--
