Oil type is not nearly as important as frequency of change. You can put the bestest oil from heaven but if you don't change it frequently, makes little difference.

Thanks alot fellows.

22 qts of Rotilla 15-40 is what Im using.

Ditto on Rotella......cost more but it's the stuff most big rigs use.......and when you change it you can dump the used stuff right in the fuel tank and stretch that fuel.

Thanks, CLINTO. I agree with Kenny. While some people swear by a certain brand, it really makes almost no difference for the amount MOST of us use our trucks. My only recommendation would be to use a good name brand...Shell Rotella, Mobil Delvac, Valvoline, Quaker State, etc. Most studies seem to show that Rotella is the best. Delvac is also highly rated. I use both Rotella and Delvac the most...but I have also used each of the brands I mentioned above. Basically, I buy whatever is for sale at COSTCO and my trucks have never complained.

I use Rotella 15-40. If you stay with a higher quality of motor oil, you shouldn't have to worry about the changing it as much. I also have spin on oil filters which does a better job of filtering the oil.
Has anyone had an oil analysis done between different oils?

We have a Mack truck on the road hauling pulp wood. We change it with 15W40 Rotella, between 9,000 & 10,000 miles. Figure the Deuce can get by with one change a year, don't think it will get 10,000 miles per year, I like to change oil once a year no matter how few miles it gets.
My Two Cents.
