Re:Favorite Oil

I guess I'm one of only two AmsOil users here.

I have run 15W/40 for over 120K and I'm more than please. I have a single bypass set up. I change the full flow filter every 7,500 miles and the bypass every 15,000. Right at first I smaple tested every 7,500 miles now I sample test every 15,000 miles.
I ran the first oil 60,000 miles and the second batch 45,000 miles. I have never had a sample come back with any problems ;D

Re:Favorite Oil

You forgot Delvac 1300 Super. It's the "Million Mile Oil"! Plus, it's the cheapest brand name oil at Wally Mart.

Re:Favorite Oil

Looks like Rotella is in the lead right now with 36% of the votes. Interesting.

Re:Favorite Oil

I use Kendall. It is getting hard to find. I used to get it at the local TSC, but they do not carry it anymore.

Re:Favorite Oil

This topic has pretty much proved that just about any oil out there will work as long as it has what Cummins calls for rating wise. I said it a long time ago, you have to run what makes you feel best since it is your truck.
Will this oil / debate question ever end?
