Valvoline 5-30w syn oil shortage?

[Gkockrow]

Any ideas on where to purchase this oil. Always used Premium Blue but can’t find in 5-30w for 2022 Cummins H O. Don’t want to sun Delo or other due to warranty fears. Thanks for help.

Shouldn't use 5w30 in the Cummins IIRC. Should be 5w40 or 10w30

You are going to have warranty issues with 5w30 oil from any manufacture thats the wrong oil

 

[Gkockrow]

You’re correct. Does say 5w 40 right on fill. Rookie mistake. Thanks

10w30 Premium Blue for warmer climates. Found on Amazon.

Really any brand synthetic diesel oil is fine if it meets the cummins requirement ls anything more is just personal preference to give you the warm and fuzzy feelings. We have one truck with 1.8million km running shell rotella

I'll bet you would be okay as long as it meets API CKI-4 and CES 20081 or MS-10902. The words recommended precede the oil grades. Just like using a 0w-40 in extreme cold should be acceptable.

I don't see much need for it thou, unless you wanted the winter benefits and thinner oil when hot.

Amsoil makes a 5w-30 that should be acceptable by Ram. I'm sure there are others, but it's not a popular Diesel grade.

Would you have issue not likely but if a failure happens and they send the oil off for analysis who knows

You have nothing to fear over warranty issues . as long as you are using the Oil that has the same or exceeds the manufactures requirements . Which is any of the commercial brands of synthetic being available . Dello , Shell etc .
