RE: Financing a Truck and My Experience
The most important thing keep in mind when listening to fuel mileage guru's and oem recommendations......

Oem base everything they do on epa mandates. If you think for 1 second any diesel engine is better off with 5w30 oil, your mistaken but the thinner oil does help fuel mileage and emissions which is exactly why they use it....... but it's at the cost of engine life.

They market to.mega fleets and therefore it is no longer mandatory to have million mile engine's. Fleets want new equipment to help with driver retention so using water thin oil and lugging the crap out of the engine to keep rpm low and save fuel is fine as they trade them off at 500,000 only to have a unsuspecting owner operator buy the junk.

Trust me, I've been brainwashed and come out the other side.
