Like you would any other oil change. For what its worth, different oils have different properties. Since you've been using the same stuff for years apparently, might not be a smart investment to buy synthetic simply because your engine is already that old. Not that it hurts, but I know from first hand experience that synthetics will really let those worn rings show their age

yea i agree, if you've been using the same oil for a long time (and changing it using it the same oil) it's probably best to stick with it. some people do that and end up with oil leaks and other issues since the motor is so used to using whatever oil was in it and the new oil may not have the exact same properties, especially switching from dino oil to synthetic

If you were more like 50,000 I'd say do it. However, 80,000 is high. Do you know what they used before you bought the truck? Is there any indication where they had it serviced?

My vote goes for Amsoil, its expensive but some of the best that you can buy. I get dealer prices so I can get it about $3 off per quart. I also use amsoil oil filters
