Well some synthetic is better then none. When i can i use full synthetic because it sticks to the engine parts over night and all in all it protects better then regular stuff. If i can afford it i'll do a full synthetic change if not then i'll use at least one gallon

Ah, I see.
Interchangeability of oils allow to do this without harm.
But I wouldn't worry about the stickyness to engine parts over night. Even normal oil will cover the interior parts with a thin film of oil.
I've seen a bunch of engines from the inside. The difference of synthetics to standard oil was the cleaniness of the inside.
Engines were synthetics were used were so clean that you eat of them after wiping off. You only will find some stuff in nocks and crannies in engines with standard oils.

Today's oils are pretty good all around. As indicated, synthetics can offer some advantages and work well in the cummins. Just depends on how you'd like to run the oil. They do cost more up front but and save money if used as they can be. That's if money is an issue.
If one plans to change oil every 3-5, then maybe there isn't a real need for synthetic unless money isn't an issue and you still want some of the benefits.
