But it says not to mix them.
So what do you all use? And where is my filler hole? I can see the drain hole from under the truck, but not the filler hole.
(This is next on the list after refilling the rear axle with new stuff.)

Guess I should get around to it. I'll probably go with a synthetic 90 SAE when I do get to it. I run synthetic in my '98 and it's great since I sometimes get too involved in other things to remember to get oil changed out every 3000. | | |
