Already did the trans,t case,front dif rear dif per owner manual.
Old oils were clean. Motor oil was changed by PO when i got the
truck i put in some marvel mystery oil and have Ben running with
that for 800 mi.
Trying to figure out what would be best to put in it now.
FTW ????
thanks

good or bad
As stated I ran it with the clean PO oil for 800-1000 mi with some marvle mystery oil in it.
Changed it with rotella t 15-40 and a pre filled napa gold 1515 last nite.
Let the truck run back up to temp, oil pressure gage stayed about the same as
normal , half way between low and centered.
Went for a ride 15mi and noticed the gage was half way between center and
high I've never seen the oil gage that high before, engine was not making any extra noise.
"Is this a good or bad thing ?"
Would a oil passage of goten blocked causing a higher pressure reading.
If so could compressed air thru the oil sending unit hole possabley un block the
passage?.
Any thoughts much appreciated
