Ok, I have read through a bunch of pages on motor oil here and on other forums, but I still need help making a decision. I want to go to a synthetic oil for my first oil change (the truck only has 1k miles), but the choices are so many. A bit about me and my truck:
I live in Wisconsin, so it gets cold but the truck is parked inside. My driving is mostly highway based and my commute is about 40 miles a day in total.
I am looking at redline (pricey), amsoil (not as pricey), and Penzoil Ultra (available locally, and reasonable). Royal Purple is not an option given Burla's post on the reformulation and the lack of Moly. Oil filters will be a Napa brand either gold or platinum.
Should I change the oil early on to get the "break in" oil out, and what would you suggest for oil?
