New to the Diesel world here. Need to change my oil soon. was wondering what type of oil y'all use? synthetic or non? someone had suggested i use 15-40.. any ideas? thanks.

Dino... 15-40 diesel rated.
Owners manual has everything you need to know about oil changes and such. |
Unless you live where it gets really cold conventional 15-40 will be fine
|
what brand are y'all using?
|
dello 400
|
I use what ever is cheapest at walmart, be it Delo or Rotella
|
I use Synthetic 5w-40 for the winter oil.
If its mild in your are (32' and up) you will be fine. Much between 32-0 and lower is where big benefits are in thinner oil. If you run thinner oil make sure that the motor is in sound condition. (Like no leaks). Synthetic will show them real quick. I have better fuel economy and quicker warm up cycles from using better the wal mart quality products. |
Saw some test results from our BG distributor.chevron dello won them all I've been running it for years.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- FYi. Wallmart oil is one of the best oils on the market.check it out. |
I run Amsoil DME 15w-40. Any conventional oil will be fine for most people unless it gets cold where you live, then I might consider a lighter synthetic oil.
|
thank y'all for the insight.
