I have been looking at the Traveller All Fleet for a while now since we just got a TSC locally. I am starting to believe that a good quality CJ-4 oil, dino or syn, when changed WHEN NEEDED will be extremely close in performance to each other. The biggest difference is price in my opinion. I'm paying $27 a gallon for Rotella T-6 locally. I can cut my oil change costs immensely by switching. Five gallons of Traveller is $46.99. Of course some will say I will be cutting my engines life in half also. I am at 5000 miles on a fresh Motorcraft filter and a fresh Oilguard filter with T-6. I'm draining and sending a sample to Blackstone. I may run some Traveller All Fleet to 4000 after the change and send them a sample. I'm at 205,000 now. It seems at around 5000 miles on the oil the engine becomes a little louder. I don't know if it is just me or what. Even with the Oilguard system the oil soots up at around 1000 miles and remains black for the rest of it's life.

No truck

I run Amsoil.
I got you beat Dave 420,000 on mine. What year is your truck?

No truck! Mines in the junk Yard totaled out last year 03 E350 V10. I'm looking for an other tow vehicle for our 30ft trailer 10k loaded. Excursion 6.0L 4x4 is what we're looking for.

Thanks for the come back
