1st oil change question

My truck, 4.6l, now has 155k miles. It has gotten nothing but Mobil1 fully synthetic oil, 10W30. I change it every 4k miles. I use the Purolator PureOne filter.

I like the synthetic oil. It gives me a bit more time between changes and I am a firm believer that it makes a difference in longlivety on a modern V8 like the 4.6l.

Cheers, George

Check out the oil forum of this board. Basically, if Castrol has made you happy then use it. None of the current oils will harm your engine if you service it on a timely bases.

Myself? Mobil 1.
