<<Another thing to point out: I have used Fram's PH16(the oil filter that is
"supposed to be very poor") oil filter and Castrol 10W30 since I bought the
truck with 13,500 miles on it. I have never added any products like Prolong,
Slick50, Duralube, etc.>>

Cool beans Kyle! I hope they made my engine out of the same mold... well, a
slightly bigger mold. ;-)

About that Fram stuff though, the gist I got from reading the article was that
they would filter OK as long as they worked. The problem was more along the
lines that the poor design *may* be more prone to breakage or blockage which
could lead to more serious problems like oil starvation. Maybe I gotta read it
again.

Anyway, congrats on the clean bill of health for your engine oil.
