Make mine synthetic- Mobil1 15W50. Last time I found some at Wally World, I made off with a 4 jug stash, which should hold me for a while. The stuff seems to be getting scarce. Nothing wrong with non synth, but I want/need extended drain intervals because my bus is used mostly for extended trips. This way, I'm never needing an oil change- or two- in the middle of a trip. I also discovered an added bennie after switching oils- my old WBX's occasional lifter noise went away for good. George/ATL |
