I own a 1998 DAK-SLT 5.2L with 55K Miles and was thinking of changing to
synthetic oil the next time I change my oil. There are many brands on the
market but I was wondering what the thought was on Mobil-1 synthetic. Also
what is the opinion on synthetic oil in the tranny. Keep in mind this
truck is babied and never sees off road use. I am interested in efficiency
and wearability. Thankyou in advance for all input.
