What kind of oil shoud I use?

[FordF-SuperDuty]

Weight, Synthetic or Standard, and preferred brand.

 

[Blue Goose]

I wouldn't deviate with what the owners manual states. It will tell you the weight and API spec.

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

10W-30 or 10W-4 SF, SF/CC, or SF/CD.

I throw 15w-40 Rotella in everything I have. But yours should be 10w-30, and it's my preference not to switch to synthetics if you've been running dino's. I prefer synthetics from new or don't do them at all. Really no rhyme or reason to that, just a quirk. It probably stems from the issues of synthetics 20 years ago, but those are a distant memory. But if I were you, I'd probably go Mobil 1 10w-30.

I use 10w30/40 if I can find it. I use Mobile 1 for my cars/trucks that take syns, and Quakerstate 10w40 in everything else.

 

[dragogt]

Castrol Syntec 10w30..

My stupid duty leaks when I put synthetic in it, but not with the 15w40 rotella..

 

[flareside_thunder]

I use Valvoline VR1 10w40

 

[Evan's f250]

Halvoline 10w40

 

[Austin]

How about...

 

[flareside_thunder]

Man, I haven't seen Havoline in quite awhile...I used to use it in my dents....

My great grandma gave us a case of Havoline at least 5 years ago we only have one quart left.

Check ur local advance auto parts, oreilly auto parts,they should have it, but yes it's getting alot harder to find than other oils

it took u 5 years to use 11 quarts?

 

[flareside_thunder]

The advance here doesn't carry it.....

 

[Evan's f250]

hmm.thats odd..i heard some1 bought them and thats why its getting harder to find..what they told me at parts store. I really like it and many seem to like it as well. a very old brand too

 

[flareside_thunder]

Chevron owns them....

 

[Evan's f250]

oh i see, so theyre prob more focused on marketing their "chevron" labeled products as the Havoline line as it was Texaco for sooo many years...just guessing

I run rotella in all my stuff as well. Id go with a 10w30 valvoline in yours. I tried Royal purple in my 410 and it still ate the cam so ill never use it again.
