About a month ago I got a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It came with the well reviewed 0w-20 oil. Toyota says 10,000 to the first oil change. I think the oil probably has a robust enough add-pack but I wonder if it is such a good idea for the first oil change. I have always done oil changes early for...
I just bought a 1990 Chevy K1500 pickup wiith 45,000 miles. he truck has done alot of sitting buit runs very well. What do you think about Rotella T5 10-30 semi syn as an oil for this truck?
Thanks, Dave

2. Which oil?
Thanks Dave
I just checked my credit card online. A case of six gallons of the 9000 was 89.68 on my door step. So the shipping worked out to be about a buck a gallon. 14.95 per gallon with the shipping. A good price in my book.

I might add that this oil is very hard to come by. I called Mark (salesrep) on Saturday and tripped over the box on Tuesday. Honestly, I cannot think of a better oil to run and it is priced very well.
I have been runnning this oil for only a few days. I had been breaking my Cummins in on Delo...
