Thanks`

well it almost was all for not, the ol truck doesnt like anything but castrol, it killed a motor on amsoil and spat out its drain plug on pennzoil during the test drive! had a lil issue with a strange howl but i tightened a clamp for the intake boots and that was it shes back to 100% and a hauler again.
