Consult your manual; it will give you all of the answers to stuff like this.

 

Depending on your driving you should be fine with the cheap gas but you will likely notice a differance by using a little better grade. No real reason to put premium in it. The best oil is clean oil every 3000 miles. I know some will swear by the synthic but what ever you use change it often. It is cheap and there is no easy fix for not changing it regularly. The rear axle seals are known to leak, not real common thou. You should have very few problems with that truck if you take care of it. If it has the Hanook tires on it look for replacements, they wear poorly.

 

If there is anything you need or some info let me know.
