At 20,000 you should be on oil #4 and oil filters. Should have done both fuel filters at 15,000. Tranny comes at 30,000.

As for synthetic, I found Shell Rotella T synthetic 5W-40 at WalMart for 13.87 a gallon. That is a 1.30 a quart less than Mobil 1 Truck/SUV. I saw the spec sheet on Shell Rotella T synthetic that says it is API CI-4. Good enough for me.
