Chevron Delo 15w-40. I buy mine at Costco or Wal-Mart. Any of the oils are good.

Nearing 130K on our '97 F250HD, with Rotella T 15W40 at every change. No complaints! Cheap at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club too.

Thanks for the info, now what about the synthetic oil? I just bought the truck and asume it's had petrolium grade oil from the start, is ok to switch to synthetic.

I don't know if it would be okay to switch. Somebody else should probably know.

You could use Syn oil, but if you change the oil at 3000-3500, the cost gets high. I have 149K on my old PSD, have used Rotella from the first oil change.
