$5.19 regular and mid-6's for diesel here. Ethanol-free 92 is back up near $7 at the stations that offer it -
And I just realized you have to do one more step. Both labels are important. The GVWR in mine is 7200lbs. So that would be the weight of the truck fully loaded correctly. Take that weight and subtract the 1602 lbs for mine (combined total of all the added stuff) and I come out to 5598lbs empty. I hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction. -
Given your chart GB, and the anecdotes we've seen here of what I think were 10L80 transmissions running consistently at 200 degrees and higher under light-ish towing loads I'm very pleased that mine stays around 145, even in high ambient temps. Of course the proof will be in the pudding when I actually pull one of my trailers, but at this point it appears that I won't see temps in the "dangerous" ranges for my tranny. -

Sleeve bearings have been about a thou per inch of diameter for over a hundred years. Piston clearances have changed back AND forth. I've heard there is a new forging alloy that can be fit as tight as a cast piston. That would be big news for small inch boosted OEM's but would have nil effect on oil weight. Hypereutectic cast pistons have/are used in Harley Davidsons at a thou bore clearances and still use 20W50. Yep, allot of smoke and mirror marketing. Lower viscosity, lower AW levels (sacrificial chemistries) and longer OCI's depleting them. Toss in some poor QC not catching machining issues and it's amazing they lasted as long as they have. Side note. that 0W* v 5W* noise is just that. Noise. Unless you live where it's > -22 F constantly. Zero weight is another fuel play. It's actually the majority of the fuel savings in a light weight oil. In my zip code we've had two days in a decade that it has been the cold. On those days both Pepper and I call in sick. -
It sure does. You have to look a little closer. This is mine.
