Rotella T6 5w-40 Availability

[Brutal_HO]

I thought the factory fill was 10W30 For all trucks 19-22, regardless of model year since not all trucks would not see below 0°F from new, and trucks located in areas where the ambient temperatures routinely fall below 0°F (18° C) during the winter, it is required to use 5W40 synthetic engine oil.

Not trying to argue, I just thought the factory fill was 10W30 but I also wanted to get the break in oil out as well.

I thought that's why they came out with service bulletin 09-011-20.

TSB 09-011-20 was issued becuase owners AND dealers were using 15W40 that was allowed in the pre-CGI engines.

It's my understanding the factory fill is 5W40 because they don't know where/when those engines will be sold and put into service.

I couldn't locate any 5w40 today

Try home depot if you have one close , i was at my local one yesterday and they had 24 gallons but only 3 on the shelf and the rest up top in there high up storage. I just asked them to get me 12 gallons down so i had plenty for a while. $24/gallon here in idaho.

Fleet farm or Farm and fleet whatever it is called in your area is the place to go to.
Their deals are unbeatable and I have never experienced a shortage, just looked a few weeks ago and the shelves were full of this oil.
11$+uncle sam per Gallon??? are you kidding me???? LOL
The other day I bought 10 Gallons and use that for anything which needs oil. Motorcycle, generator, lawn mower and of course the Cummins.

I looked online at my 2 local Fleet Farm that are 70 and 80 miles away, both listed 1 gallon jugs in stock. So I get on the phone and called both stores and nope nada online inventory is incorrect, I also asked about 2.5 and 5 gallon pals and nope on that as well.

My local Tractor Supply had nothing but empty shelves 1 gal, 2.5 gal 5 gal, so I asked the help desk about if they have any coming in while I was there and they told me none in stock anywhere and none on order.

I usually order things at Summit racing. They are very reliable and quick with shipping

Mobil 1 Delvac ESP meets all requirements per the Ram owners manual.
As of now they have more than 10x 1 Gallon available.

I personally use nothing but Amsoil. Order it online and it ships right to the door. Their signature series oil and filters are really high quality. I will have no concerns running my new 2022 to 15,000 miles as recommended by Cummins (when it gets here! lol). I wouldn't stretch any other brand that far. Although the Penzoil synthetic is also supposed to be very good as well but not sure if they have a diesel oil yet. I know friends that buy the cheapest oil on sale and honestly don't seem to have issues... Personal choice I guess.

All Oil has to meet certain benchmarks regardless of brand . It is all marketing and advertising . Cummins states u can run it for 15000 . It doesn't state any spefic oil to run because they must meet the engine manufactors specifications. Amsoil has no more of a secret blend than any other major oil company that has dumped a ton of money into R+R . I find it amusing to see so many people throwing their hard earned money away by changing their oils long before needed . That T6 , Delo, Valvoline is not your Grandads oil . It's all about the additives which is one of the major reasons u can run it that long . HD truck fleets do oil analysis and stretch out oil changes even further . Filter quality that is where people really need to be attentive .Last HD truck I owned was a 2010 with a Cummins 15 liter motor . it was 15,000 oil change interval and the new ones are even further out .
