Quaker state supposedly is the only oil that doesn't cut with recycled, been using that in my personal vehicles for 30some yrs. Rotella in the big truck, or whatever the Peetro uses( also TA, Flying fishhook), always add a couple quarts of Marvel, also works good in air tools. Climbing hills, try to keep it in the sweet spot, every truck has one.
Some maintenance advice and driving as well.

Amsoil Signature Series 15W-40.
Keep my RPMs between 1400-1600 with the pyrometer below 1100. This is with an old Cat though, so you’re setup will be a lot different.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
3406b........not less than 1500 with pedal to spare while watching exhaust gas and coolant temps

Rottela T6 synthetic, i don't push it hard climbing hills heavy, i keep boost to max 50%/30 psi, 1400-1500 rpm downshift if needed and turn 4 way flashing light on if gets slow.

It now that Elogs are here, a pre-00 engine is the best. And if you want to avoid ABS problems a pre-98 truck is best. And if you want to avoid death trap speed limiters in Ontario and Quebec a pre-95 truck is best.
