What type of oil are you using?

I was wondering what type of oil everyone is using? I bought my truck used with 58K on it, I plan to keep it for another 100K. Is synthetic worth the money?

Thanks

Yes synthetic is worth the extra cost, it allows you to go more miles between changes.

I think 2010 oil change interval is 7,000 miles, what will synthetic be?

Depends on how the vehicle is operated, but to know for sure you will want to get the oil analyzed.

http://www.blackstone-labs.com/free-test-kits.php is who I have used for years.
