Syn oil

Put the Valvoline Blue Syn 5w40 in my truck for the 1st time this oil change & I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

No leaks or any downside that I can see as of about 1000 miles & truck started in 25 deg temp like it was 75 deg. Pretty good for a truck that would always romp a little at anything around 40 deg.

I'll probably run this stuff year round from now on

If you can afford it, run it year round.

Best mod yet!

That's the plan Dave

I got it on sale at NAPA $20 so I figure I'll keep an eye out for the next sale, the guy at NAPA told me it's usually at that price 2 or 3 times a year.

I've never used a full syn oil & was kinda leery but I'd almost swear that the engine is a little quieter...I KNOW I KNOW it's probably all in my head haha
