Be careful of the cheap stuff.  Amsoil has a state of the art oil analyizing 
facility.  They find that if the oil is filtered properly the oil will last 
almost indeffinately.  Over the road use
 of up to 40,000 miles between  bypass oil filter changes, and over 300,000 
on the oil proves the life of the oil.  Only reason in this case the  oil 
was changed the truck was sold, dealer tore it
 down and found that all the parts were usable,  with nearly a million on 
it.
