    Been thinking about it in switching over to synthetic. Do you put in synthetic or conventional?

    Correct. I currently run 5W-30 conventional but would go with 0W-20 if running synthetic.
    Costco is the reason I will likely switch to synthetic. What a great place to shop.

    0w-20 is synthetic only, and for the 2.7 engine. Idk what you v6 fellers run. But we don't have to change plugs every 30k like you do :D

    I use conventional, only because I get free oil changes for as long as I own my truck.

    Driverside Camburg Uniball was too noisey so I swapped it out.

    Pretty easy to do but it's only 1 year old. Totally wore out.

    That sucks, probably a 10 minute fix and 2 hours of labor to remove and reinstall the UCA.

    Sounds about right. Pretty good at getting those UCAs in and out so it was little over an hour.

    The first time is always the hardest and takes the longest time to do.
