All natural 0W20 replacement, and it smells like Bacon.

To make it even better, the Sierra club can't bitch about it, no drilling involved!

They really need a sarcasm tag here....

Seriously, though, it does make one hell of a lubricant, but the only time I've used it was ages ago, for sewing machine oil out of a bottle from grandpa's workbench.

There must be some days that are bearable. I would want good oil in my truck if I was starting it in those conditions....of course, you likely plug your truck in, but I'm sure there are those days where that doesn't seem to make much difference.

Oh, and I tend to replace at about every 4,000 Km
Mobil 1 of course!!

if you have the 5.4l 3V i would recommend changing oil every 5000km with synthetic for less engine sludge or you may have cam phaser issues.
trust me

I would not run conventional or Penzoil in anything. Stick with a good Semi Synthetic or better. We use Penzoil at work, and I see the issues it brings in.

Valvoline High Mileage oil and Motorcraft filter about every 5,000 miles or so because I tow all the time. Anyone who changes their oil every 3K is just making the oil guys richer... LOL.
