Ii run valvoline synthetic. Cummins recommends that if you run synthetic use a 5-40, 15-40 for conventional.

this is good info that i wish dodge would have told me, they just said 15-40 and like i said it drives me nuts with the ticking towards the back of the block, closest to the firewall. (lifters were adjusted when i installed new injectors) so i know its not one of those and it has to be the oil.

I have heard of this before, just use the oil you did before.

Rotella T-6 5w-40 syn. and never had any issues. Been running it for over 6 years, year around, towing or not. I change the oil every 7k miles religiously.

How do ya like it?? Cause it seems like rotella just doesn't hold up for me... Unless I've been getting some shitty rotella... I've never had a problem with it before but this past change it just seemed like it last very long
