Hey all,
First post after doing a bunch of reading - trying to decide what I want to use in my new to me truck. 2018 Raptor w/ 30k miles, came to me with fresh oil change (but a synthetic blend from Valvoline). I've always run M1 in my naturally aspirated cars and Rotella T6 5W40 in my turbo cars. This truck runs a thinner 5W30 viscosity than I'm used to for turbo applications, so I guess I'm being a bit precious about choosing a good lubricant to keep it in good shape for a long time.
I drive an even mix of freeway, extended road trips, and city miles - I'm not abnormally hard on my cars. I generally change the oil around 5k. Is there any appreciable difference between these three oils for my use case? Is it problematic in any way to switch between them since they all seem relatively similar?
I have the M1 EP already, the Rotella Gas Truck is on heavy sale (free) at the moment so considering that as well. It looks like the M1 ESP and RGT have a higher HTHS than the M1 EP - is the M1 EP at 3.0 more than good enough in that regard?
Thanks all!
