    No interest in a debate as to whether it is better or not or more horsepower yadda yadda....

    Just curious what YOU run in your truck? Oil and Octane?

    Peace, TC

    Dealership 0w20, 87 octane, normally Shell, Chevron, or Texaco.

    After my prepaid oil changes are done I'll probably switch to 0w20 Penzoil Platinum or other decent oil.
