    I'm still a firm believer in Valvoline in anything I own... car, truck, boat, tiller, mower, etc.

    I won't put a fram filter on anything either... car, truck, boat, tiller, mower etc... that is if i has a filter.

    Motorcraft filters on everything I've had except the Sonoma. Even the Z-71 I ran a motorcraft filter (was pricey but thats what i wanted)

    The sonoma gets a Purolator filter, as that was in stock besides a Fram nonfilter.

    I've been running the Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic blend in everything I have lately and really do like the oil. I change oil ever 3000 to 3500 miles and it still is somewhat clean when I change it, but I do it for peace of mind

    Frank all 5w20 oil is a synthetic blend even if it does not say it on the bottle:Handshake

    Some cars specify the 5w20 full synthetic!!!
