Yes sir! You could also run 5W40 Synthetic if you wanted.

Is that 07 a classic or the LMM? Not sure if Rotella's 15W-40 is CJ-4 rated yet or not. Their website doesn't indicate so. If you have the classic, it doesn't matter. If LMM, make sure it's CJ-4 rated.

Sometime you can find Delo 400 a little cheaper and its a very good oil.

Rotella is good stuff but for the money you should probably take a look into what Heath is selling, I've got it in everything except my brother's dakota and love it.

Exactly...I get 22-23K on my Amsoil and could go to 60K if I ran the by-pass system.

I used Rotella in my last 2 trucks before the switch to Amsoil.

I looked at the amsoil website but didn't see any prices. Is it so expensive you can't have a price sheet? Just messing with ya.


I am going to put in the rotella, it's about the only thing I can consistently get here.

Become a preferred member and the price of Amsoil comes down. You will make out far ahead at the end of the year vs running dino oil.
