No opinions with castrol . ? :forwn: I thought are not much popular overthere.
Right now I am running a Synthetic Chevron Delo 0w40.
It's to thin right now, but it's still cold enough to be okay.
I am only running it because it came with my truck with it's cold wheather package.
From now on I am going stick with 15w40 all year round.
Cheers,
Nick

Stone,
I wasn't suggesting that oils advertised as "synthetic" or "full synthetic" are not as advertised, but rather that the oils advertised as "semi synthetic" may not be 50-50 as the name would imply.
Dipstick markings: I thought maybe 1 litre also, but nobody seems to know for sure and others have suggested 2L.
