    I have been doing my own oil changes and have been using shell rotella t5 15w40

    with every oil change i add about 2 gallons of lucas oil stabilizer.

    2010 prostar, 900k miles, deleted.

    what do u guys think is the best oil at this amount of miles and what should be the interval?

    $20 extra every oil change, every 17k miles. Hardly a waste of money lol

    Do you have two patches put in all your new tires, if not why do you stabilize new oils? Skip the Lucas.!

    Just my opinion, but I never use Lucas. Reason being, is if you have ever see the internal engine parts after the engine has been torn down. All the parts are sticky from Lucas and you can feel the dirt that is stuck to it.
    If you see the internal parts when just oil was used, they are clean.
