[AT] synthetic oil

[charlie hill]

Gil,  I'm late coming to this conversation but I'll tell you what I read
in a farm magazine many years ago.  The article said if you don't drive
a truck (pickup or medium duty) at least 50,000 miles a year you can't
justify the expense of purchase and maintenance on the diesel.
That was probably 25 years ago and I'm sure the economics have
changed over time but it's still a point worth considering.

I want to thank everyone who has commented on this thread. It has been a 
most interesting subject and all comments have been very enlightening. At my 
age I have only thought about buying a diesel engine pickup and this subject 
of conversation has helped make up my mind. It seems as though buying a 
diesel engine is like buying trouble unless you really need it for work, I 
don't. Initial cost of a diesel never came into the conversation but I know 
something about the initial cost and normal maintenance costs after the 
warranty expires. I think I'll just drive my 04 Hemi a while longer. It has 
done very well and the overhead on it is miniscule.
Thanks to everyone for their comments and information.
Gil
