1st oil change

If you plan to keep the truck as long as you possibly can, DO NOT use 0W20. It is a hard working engine in a full size truck. It needs proper viscosity and protection to avoid valvetrain issues. On my first oil change I dumped the factory fill and never ever touched a bottle of 0W20 again. It was shocking how much quieter my engine ran immediately, and ALL of the start-up ticking went away.
