Default Valvolin oil question..

I decided to try Valvolin in my 01 Rubicon, I have two choices already on my garage shelf, I have
Dura Blend 10W-30 and also SynPower 10W-30 full synthetic, which of these would you guys recommend in my Rubicon with 10,000 plus hours on her?

Any info would be great.

MM

9001 miles
10654 hours


Rubidude figured it out and came up with this,

the Rubi has only been available to the public for around 27 months. So......assuming that it was one of the first out there, that would mean that your machine has been ridden roughly a little over 10 miles a day...every day. It would have to have been running (or at least had the key turned on) for around 12.5 hours a day.

Damn thats alot of hours!

so oil is kinda important at this juncture.

MobileMan,

If your just going 10 miles a day in 12.5 hours a day every day are you creeping along.
