Personally I would go with the 9000

- Full Synthetic according to Dozer

- Your motor will like you better with 5w40 synth (especially in the winter)

Looks like you replaced the motor not long ago so I take its low miles. I really dont like running synthetic oils in new motors or even a low miles Dmax that still needs broken in. I have had my best luck with Modle 1 Delvac 1300. I have ran Rotella but it seems like the newer oil from shell is thinned out heard there changed maf companys.

Fixed that I hate when I hit some button on my laptop and it changes it to italic slant writing lol. I'm not much of a drinker I like it but does not mix well with the oxys and other meds I take so I fly high enough some days :hug:

With that many miles its not going to hurt but I dont think its worth the cost. But I also dont know how cheap your getting it for. I'm a Amsoil dealer and still will not run it in my own truck. I will run it in the race car and the trans or the car and the rears and stuff for the truck. I also get Royal Purple.

Amsoil 15-40 had a slight white haze at idle from my pcv reroute hoses, schaeffers 7000 does not have the haze, got me scratching my head now, been watching for over a week now for the haze, not a hint of it, it was very noticeable before changing oil, the amsoil that was in there had less than 4000 miles on it too.
