X2 on the Valv Prem Blue. The napa fleet 15-40 is speculated to be the same, but cheaper, and goes on sale more. Always seems like the oil loss over time is less when I use that oil. Tractor Supply has a 15-40 fleet oil that is also well made for the price.


Get a metric o-ring set (autozone?) that has the little o-rings that go in the filter housing and change em out too - there is a forum thread on that.


My personal method is to unplug the glow plug relay so I can crank the engine over for several seconds to build some oil pressure before the first start after an oil change.
