I ended up putting in Mobil 1 5w-30. I went to checkers and looked at the rotella... SCARED ME lol it was like TURBO DIESEL... So im like... NAH!!! lol but if everyone swears that it will do better then more harm, then the next three thousand, Rotella it is! I also used a Fram Tough guard oil filter.
OH quick Question, Does anybody know where to get an air filter in denver!? went to pep boys, Went to Checkers... Two of them and nothing... Nobody keeps them in stock!

When I drove cement truck we used Rotella 15w-40 in EVERYTHING!!
The fork lift, pick up truck, bull dozer, BobCat, front end loader's, the engines on the cement trucks of course, the automatic transmissions on the cement trucks, the hydrolics on the cement trucks...did I mention EVERYTHING?
It is one hell of a oil, and it lasts forever.
In the trucks, we changed the oil once a year no matter what.
There was a 500 gal tank in the store room with a hand pump, you needed engine/trans/hydrolic oil you pumped what you needed into a jug and poured it in.

Your truck takes 7 quarts.
The best way to change the oil on a DI is to run both passenger side wheels onto ramps, then drain the oil and while that is draining grease your u-joints and slip joints on both the front and rear driveshafts.
Then replace your drain plug, change your oil filter,. fill it back up with oil and you are good to go.

First, let me say I appreicate all of the time and effort you put into this forum, as is the case with all senior member.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to tune up my 98 Disco LE 4.0 and saw your comment about greasing the u-joints and slip-joints. Well, I've never done it before but it doesnt seem that hard. I need a grease gun and find the grease nipples, right? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Doug
