i run royal purple in my 08. i know amsoil is good oil too. if you still have the dpf and egr i wouldnt try it. before i got my deletes i had to change about every 3k to get the diesel out of it.

Mines not a 6.7 but I run Mobil Delvac and we get the 55 gal drum from the local fleet here in town and they swear by it.

I would say anything that has a Cummins "C" on it and is DPF compliant (if it has DPF still on). I have a buddy with a new 2010 Cummins and he runs Mobil 1. I run Rotella have for years as well as my old man. I have 170,000 on mine he has 410,000 on his 12v.
