I'm thinking of running either PP or Schaeffer in mine. A friend works at a small company and in their fleet of ~20 2500/3500 trucks they all run Schaeffer. They go 20,000 miles between complete oil changes (they change the filter at 10K and just top it off). They send the oil off for analysis each time and said it always comes back with good results. They were even told they could run the oil longer if they wanted too.

Yeah, I forgot about Schaeffer. I think I might try them next oil change. Not sure how much their stuff cost but I know a place close buy that sells it. They talk about them alot over at BITOG, but I think their a sponsor so you know how that could be.

You can get Amsoil products right from Charlie Wheatley, he's an Amsoil dealer...I'll be putting an order in to him for a case of oil and a few filters soon myself
