What type of Oil?

boss · 05-28-2008, 09:23 AM

I am sure it has probably been answered here before but if I have my dpf delete installed do I still have to run the cj-4 oil or can I run anything, seems most places around here just carry rotella, kendall and dello which im not sure of their ratings?

How often do you want to change your oil? How long do you want your rig to last?

The thing I want to know is should I be running 15w40 or 5w40?

should I run 15w40 in the summer and 5w40 in the winter?

If you got to mobil.com and put in an 01 cummins it tells you to use 5w40.......

I have always used rotella 15w40 but im looking at switching to synthetic...
