    I always used syn blend or high mileage. Both the 150s with a 5.4 I had were over 100k. There's debate whether synthetic or non synthetic actually makes a difference ha ha. I never noticed any difference but I kept up with my oil changes and I didn't really have either truck long enough to notice much of a long term difference. Never had any problems though.

    Just don't use tractor oil, even if it is free... :jester: some of the other guys will get that joke ha ha

    I use full synthetic in all of ours. It lets you run a longer oil change interval. I do 7500mi on my truck and 5000mi on the Jeep
