The AC Delco PF61 fits our trucks, just bought two more yesterday. Its longer than the PF46 or what ever that little sucker was.
I finally found someone who handles the WIX brand by me, too bad the damm things are $7.50 each.
Gonna try one as soon as I'm out of the others.

Red Line oils still do exist and they are very top tier. But also pretty much unobtanium in most cities, they are rarely found in speed shops and none of the parts store chains where 99% of us shop carry RL. It's fantastic oil but too hard to get to be practical. Most of the people I know who use it use it in their recreational vehicles (race cars, atv's, dirt bikes, etc.). But if you can get it and don't mind paying $10 a quart for it then run it!
Red Line and Schaeffer's and probably the two best oil companies out there. $$$$$

I agree in regards to RedLine products.
Royal Purple has been hard to acquire for me both in Miami area and Atlanta area. I can get it, just can't walk right in and get it unannounced...
In Miami area, Murrays carries it, but it's either plenty or none.
In ATL area, Barnett Racing has it in stock usually, but they are not that close. A local speed shop keeps it, but they either have plenty or none, luck of the draw usually. Both of these places have the best price as well.
We have the new Summit not too far, like to visit every once and awhile. They of course have it in stock, tend to match pricing as well.
I try to buy it by the case and cover two oil changes when I do.
AutoZone, Advance and O'Reilly does not carry it in the stores. PepBoys DOES, but it like $6.99/qt vs about $5.50.
