The owners manual is your best friend and has more correct information than a lot of posters on this site!

Oil separators are accessories, not essential. Dont get caught up in the hype/scare tactics op.

So far I've had three oil changes, all done at the dealership.

I believe for the $39.95 package, they use a synthetic blend.

Should I be asking to upgrade to full synthetic? I plan to keep this truck a long time...
