Do you have a deep oil pan.  I think it is called ESI..

this is from my  E-6 2 valve book.  15W40 oil is likely the correct oil.. I didnt see it in my book, but i have other books to check, just grabbed the front most book..

Did you look at the link i posted.. ?

[Joey Mack]

Nate, is yours a 2 valve or 4 valve?

[Nathanwhit1]

Yeah I’ve looked thanks I will have to check the truck 2moro. What do you mean by 2 or 4 valve ? 

[Joey Mack]

Does it have rounded steel valve covers with bolts down the middle, or a more flatter aluminum valve cover with 6 bolts, 3 on each long side. ?  And a breather manifold that spans both valve covers?
