Would this oil be good to use in a 1998 K3500 pickup truck with the 454 vortec in it? Truck only has 115,000 miles on it and I bought it 10 years ago with 94,000 miles on it. I'm currently using Citgo 5W-30 synthetic blend in it because I have a lot of it.
Owner's manual states to use 5W-30 or 10W30 in certain temps but to not use anything else. The engine has a little bit of lower noise in it and runs about 20 psi at a hot idle in gear. I was thinking of trying a thicker oil in it. I've run different oils in it over the years but always used 5W-30.
Would this Rotella be a good choice or should I look at something else and should I stay with 5W-30? I know that the new jugs of T6 doesn't say it can be used in gas engines but everything I've read says the specs on this oil are still the same. Thanks.
