he is one of those kinda guys,RW. he apologized the whole time we were loading,i told him that i had NEVER OVERSLEPT IN MY WHOLE LIFE,and not to weary cause it would probably be me the next time
.i have used rotella15w40 in my o'l b model since i got her so i would be scared to change now,but i ain't too proud to change if i get another truck,i kinda like what stranger said about valvoline premium blue,though,2mpg would sure be nice!

wheathauler,.. i saw where you posted that you have a c12,how do you like that motor? how's the power,torqe,mpg,and reliability? i know they are a lot lighter and that extra weight would be nice.have you had yours long?
-
They are light and power & torque is pretty good. The motor that was in it dropped a valve this april...shelled the engine. Put in used one and so far it's done all right. 6.5-7 mpg. I think it was a 2003 engine that was put in...had 400,000 on it. I have only put 13,000 on the engine but haven't seen many oil leaks.
dairyman Thanks this. -
That was in a Dodge 2500 pickup with a V-10 engine. I don't know what it would do in a big engine, but would like to find out.dairyman Thanks this. -
Yep, as I stated previously valvoline could be a good oil. I don't know though I've used shell for a number of years.

Talk all you want it doesn't bother me. It's what's this thread is for information, venting, talking about your day, whatever.
This actually is the third C-12 it's had in it. Originally had c-12 and now two used engines. The truck has over million miles on it so not too bad. Dropping a valve could happen to any engine so won't hold that against it. It had around 720,000 when the valve dropped...mechanic I use, said get over 700,000 start thinking about rebuild. I thought later I should have put C-13 in but would have been more expensive. -
How's it going Big John?
