On my third change, now, in my Sierra, and pretty happy with it. Traveller 15-40, from Tractor Supply. Lots of trepidation, before I tried it the first time, but I heard from our son and others that it was being used successfully, so I went for it. Seems to last as long, or longer than Castrol, before the first quart has to be added, and goes just as long before turning black.
I use Baldwin filters, exclusively, in my dual bypass Amsoil system, and just went 13,000 miles, pretty much inadvertently, before this change. Added 2, or three quarts in that time, which is just about average for this truck ever since I bought it in 06. Still costs close to 60 bucks for oil and filters, but it's a far cry from the $196 that it cost me for Amsoil the last time I went that way, back in 08. Never again! Tried it for two changes and it didn't net me any advantage at all.
