rsexton721,
Your 2006 calls for CI-4 oil not CJ-4, so your choice is either the Diesel & Marine 15w40 or if you don't have a ton of miles 5w30 HDD. As for oil filter either the Amsoil EAO-80 or the Donaldson ELF 7349. Note the Amsoil EAO-80 and Donaldson EFL are the same filter. If you have any other question head on over to the Amsoil section and ask Heath our resident Amsoil guru.

CJ-4 oil is required in all 07 and newer equipped with the DPF. It can be run in all diesels but is required for the newer. 06 and older can still run the CI-4+, which is our diesel and marine, the 10W-30 or the 5W-30. The diesel and marine is by far the most popular.
I'm wondering..does the 06 list 15W-40 as an oil in the manual? AMSOIL is not listing any 15W-40 in the guide and I'm guessing that is why?
