[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 487579, member: 12995"] The main thing with a car/truck engine is to try and stick with the same brand oil. Most engine oil works fine, but when you start mixing up brands, you can wipe out a lobe on a camshaft or lose a bearing. I don't know if it has something to do with additives or detergents but I've seen it happen. Adding some oil of a different brand is not a big deal since you still have most of the original brand in the engine, but when you do a full oil change, using a different brand can lead to issues sometimes.
