I just went to mobil 1 tri synthetic, it seems like rather good stuff. It
poured out a LOT quicker than normal 5w30... so I guess my questions are
what brand filter does everyone like, the mobil 1, k&n, or what? I bought
a Bosch Premium filter today... also how long can you make synthetic
last? 6k, 9k, 12k? assuming changing the filter and topping the oil only
every 3k mi... But the truck does seem to have a little more oomph....
