Diesel or Gas?

Mobil 1. It's all I ever ran in that motor. Might not meet the 'official' specs but did fine by me.

It does because it has the API Donut on the back label.

and because of the Lifetime Maxxcare I had, I was somewhat married to the dealer I went to

Please explain. Why did MaxCare marry you to a particular dealer?

Quite an ordeal. At least they let you have a loaner.

Well, I guess if I'd gotten into the nitty gritty of it I COULD have gone elsewhere. However, I've cultivated a long-standing, good-terms relationship with this dealer's service department, and I did not want to do something to jeopardize said relationship. That's why I ended up with a loaner - they make sure to get me one, even if they have to pull a vehicle off the lot (new or used).

That and the next closest dealer that isn't over an hour away is one of those 'conglomerates.' I have had several friends try to work with them, and the ones who didn't walk away have said it was the worst experience they've had with a dealer. They also tried to refuse my Supplier Discount when my wife was truck shopping.
