Hello and congratulations on your purchase! Welcome aboard. As for the oil, you can find MotorCraft 5W 20 at Wallmart for 1.77 a qt. BTW, did you know that a Silver L is a little faster than the Red?

MAGNAFLOW
Congrats on your new toy! Magnaflow is a great choice. I recently installed that very muffler rather than 2 singles because of the integrated cross pipe design. In addition I installed Magnaflow High-flow cats. The L's actually have 4 very restrictive cats and these 2new ones actually release less polutants for emissions. I belive alot of it is the fact it burns hotter as well.I was amazed at the difference in power the install created and a sound like no other. Cab noise is not to bad either. Under idle it is not much louder than stock until ya' give er'! WOW! Compliments all the time. Enjoy!

I had the JDM/Magnaflow c/b with the #14568 stainless muffler and their 4 1/2" tips installed recently. High quality pieces and everything fit perfectly. Here is a link with pics:

Not much louder at idle/criuse than stock but at WOT, it's niiiiiice. My 1/4 mile et dropped by about .030--not much but no loss.
I use Royal Purple #11(5W20) Synthetic Racing oil--Jeg's sells it for $7.99/qt.

Don't let nostreetracing try to BS you...red is the fastest color. As far as the oil goes what part of the country are you in. Here in the desert I run 10W30 M1 with 26000 care free miles. Your gonna love that truck.

Silver will be the fastest this year... LOL I hope.... I know of 3 Silver trucks getting ready to REALLY lay down some #'s... Of course BIG Red is about to as well....
