All the Diesel Mags I've read tell ya syn oil is the best thing for the newer engines and you can get a few more miles out of an oil change.

See that's the thing; I don't ever run my oil out to the point of the "recommended" interval.
I am the most **** truck owner in the world when it comes to oil and if it gets 3000 miles on it, I'm upset and out it comes for a fresh fill.
But you should hear how sweet my engine sounds. It cackles a bit when cold and under load, but once it warms up.................

I guess it's just a mechanic's ear thing.

Jeremy i bought two cases of 9000 and a case of the fuel treatment. It came on a pallet, lol. In the end i wish i would have just bought it from you it would be alot less hassle.
