I prefer synthetic oils because I live in a very cold climate. Which shouldnt be an issue for you. However, many people have put many, many miles on these engines using conventions oils. Excellent choices are: Delo 400, Rotella T, Mobile delvac 1300, Valvoline etc.

I really feel the best filter you can use for your truck is the Fleetguagrd LF3894. This filter has the Stratapore synthetic filter media (read very fine filtration) and Fleetguard is a sister company to Cummins. How could you go wrong? At the very least, stay away from Fram filters. They are junk.

 

Amsoil's filter

 

I have been using Dello 400 with the wix filter since i got the truck. When i got the truck it 200k on it an now im at 310k. I havnt had any problems. I also am using the wix fuel filter it has been doing real good.

Where do i get a fleetguard filter?

 

through your nearest cummins dealer or your local parts store probably order you one and if you have all kinds of money lying around your nearest dodge dealer

 

Yeah my budget is real tight right now im in college. So idk when ill get the money for one of the fleetguard. I hope i have enough by my next oil change but if i dont im gonna have to stick with the wix..

 

i usually run wix but an amsoil is going in the duramax next filter change.

 

I'm running ValPar 0W40 with a John Deere filter. No problems so far, and the price is great as I work for a Deere Construction Equipment dealership.

 

Thanks for all the help.

I have another question for you guys. Before i came to college i change my thermostat to a 185degree and i changed my coolant to john deere coolguard it worked out great truck runs real cool hauling whatever i pull. is it a bad thing that when im running down the road or jus ideling the truck runs at about half the temp that it use to
