    10w30 is good but there are lots of diffrent wieghts....wix filters are good but this truck is not a street truck so it will get oil changes often. in street driven trucks you would prolly change this oil every 1000 miles or so...i ran it in my '04 turbo truck and did change it every 1000 miles or so.

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    Rotella 10w40 and wix filter. Turbo diesels run it, why not turbo gas engines.
