FYI
The Series 2000 Amsoil 0W-30 has a ton of ZDDP and very high base content. It is what you want in your towing rigs I believe.
Supposedly the Secret Service uses it in their vehicles I had read a while back.
M-1 10W-40 Motorcycle oil (mxt4) is also great for trucks during the summer....but I would not use it in a marine application...a bit too low in grade.
