Posted December 27, 201410 yr Im bout due for an oil change. i usually run VPB 5/40. but the only place in town that has it is 28.?? a gallon. the local tractor supply has rotella T6 5/40 for 19.?? gallon. but that are all sold out. so with my new LF9028 extended service oil filter. i'm thinking amsoil at a total of 130$ something or VPB for about 96$ right now i run about 7500-8K miles on my oil. it still looks good not to black. i'll do a sample and send to blackstone at time of change. but i need to buy oil... what to buy? i have at my disposal Travelers, super tech, valvoline, rotella, mystic. i know clean oil is good. but i don't want to be throwing hard earned cash away if a better oil will last longer and be better for a few more $'s. i would love to get my hands on some of this. http://www.valvoline.com/products/commercial-industrial-products/oem-endorsed-products/73 but i can't find it online or intown. most people look at me funny when i tell them i want it. i need input!!

December 31, 201410 yr Chevrolet used a canister type filter back in the mid to early 60s.. old timers used to say a roll of TP was an acceptable substitute if an OEM was`nt available, but its been a long time since I have heard that.
