Anyhow problem solved, it was cap, new cap on an took drive. No little leak or seeping, must been o ring seals on old Cap that act up when took cap off. Never had cap go bad, plastic stuff nowadays, but it is rubber or kinda like rubber o ring, unfortunately happen late sunday, an 50 miles driving because it when done go store an warm up to see leak, so super tech is not good oil ? Been use it for over 2 years an fir long time other truck, what other good non synethic oil that not pricey recommend. I don't like prices change 3000, not get synethic

There's nothing wrong with the super tech oil. If you want to get something else check out farm and fleet when their ads come out every week. Quite often the have Citgo oil on sale with a rebate. You usually wind up paying under $1 a quart for synthetic blend which is regular oil.
If you get full synthetic it cost under $2 a quart after the rebate. I have cases and 5 quart jugs of the full synthetic in my garage, I've got a couple of cases of regular on hand too. I've never had an issue with Citgo oil.
My wife's old 2007 malibu with a 2.2 4 cylinder had 301,000 miles on it when she totaled it out by hitting a deer. I used the regular synthetic blend in that car. I hated to see that car end that way, we wanted to see how many miles it would last. The engine was never touched on it just changed the oil every few thousand miles..

the supertech non synthetic is bottom of the list for oil quality , there are a number of tests out there you can find that do the comparison

i hear the synthetic is much better


however if you watch sales you can find better oil for a few dollars more farm and fleet has a sale on Citco full synthetic for 16.99 for 5 quart jug stock up when you find a sale


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
