smokeater, I have used Havoline dino oil in my truck since day 1. As for the filter, I normally use either a Fram filter or a Wix filter. But then, I also change my oil ever 3K miles. So, no need to worry about spending extra on full synthetics and whatnot. This also gives me a reason to do a once over of the truck to see how it is running.

I prefer Mobil 1 and the Mobil 1 filter. Wix and Napa Gold are also good filters, but never Fram.
I swear by synthetic oils. Gives you more insurance against failure and it has been dyno proven to increase hp on old school mustangs. Not by much but the fact that it increases hp at all means there is more friction with conventional oil. I am not particular to any brand but I typically use mobil one or castrol.
As far as filter I stick with motorcraft. I have had ticking lifters before on startup with other performance brand as it would allow oil to bleed out when turned off.

mobile 1 synthetic 5-20w and either K&N or motorcraft filters
Also use Castrol GTX and Fram oil filter. Changed every 3000 miles. On the other hand my Dodge Stratus gets Advanced Auto store brand oil and the cheapest Purolator oil filter. Oil changes are done whenever I get to it. Lol. I hate that car and it just won't die.
