I run NAPA gold/silvers in my DD (tacomas) I will run the same in my jimmy after the first oil change.

We run NAPA gold on all the company trucks as well as my own, only problem I've had is when I get dyslexic with the numbers and get the wrong one!

I run nothing but k&N oil filters. I also block the bypass fitting the filter screws to. This way the oil has to go thru the filter. I run mobil 1 15/50 full synthetic oil. The engine is a BBC 496. Oil pump was bluprinted and all clearances brought to min spec. when eng fires up i have 70psi oil pressure when engine reaches 180 degrees f it stays right at 50-55 psi hot and idling in gear. The k&N filters are pricey but i have had the cheap filters blow right off of the block or split a seam. I have way to much money invested in the eng to rely on a walmart special.
