What oil for 2020 cummins? - Merged oil threads

[Combra6589]

Trying to find what oil you guys use for your cummins. I use valvoline premium blue 10w30 but the price has not doubled since I ordered it in April. Also is there a fuel filter brand that mopar will cover if there is a warranty issue or should I just stick with mopar? Fuel filter went up freaking $30 too

Oh really. I’m in Massachusetts. So would 10w30 be better for cold weather?

Worse for coldweather better in the heat when not being worked hard. Severe duty or any cooler climates 5w40 synthetic is what you want. The only way i would run 10w30 was if it was a grocery getter in Florida

Great thank you. And those filters wouldn’t void warranty? I want to change fuel filters as well

No they meet OEM spec so you are good, the engine mounted filter i use the WIX but they dont have the rear filter so i run the mopar for that one

Seems like literally everyone is out of oil. Ridiculous. Now a gallon is over $30. Incredible. Thanks for the help

I had to go to 3 different auto stores to get 3 gallons of 10w30 synthetic. ridiculous 1st world problems.

What’s the oil of choice for the desert SW? 110° in the summer.

First diesel I’ve ever owned. Information overload.

If you tow, 5W40. If you don't 10W30.

If you travel to areas that will see 0F or below, 5W40.

I will either be running Rotella T6 5w-40 or Hot Shots Fleet 5w-40 oil, with online discount codes they are close in price....... under 25 per gallon. Both of these are Group 3 oils and will easily last the OEM suggested change interval.

As for filters I will be sticking with OEM on both fuel and oil filters.

Pretty certain it has to be 5w40.

They (line workers) aren't going to care/know where the truck is going so they aren't going to mix oils depending on locale.

Fuel and oil filters get changed at oil change correct?

 

[AEV_CUMMINS]

I am using Amsoil 5w40 ss w/Amsoil filter. Mopar or Fleetguard for fuel filters. I plan on trying Schaeffers oil and probably interchanging between Amsoil oil filters and Fleetguard.

Yes, change them between 10k and 15k

T6 5w40 but it is getting hard to find. Seems like everyplace thinks heavy duty diesel oil has to be 15w40. Changing the oil every six or seven weeks along with fuel filters I have to be able to find and keep a large supply on hand.

If you are changing oil every six weeks, why not get it in 55 gallon drums?

Mopar or Fleetguard filters only and Rotella synthetic, it's a $10,000 engine don't skimp and buy in bulk not one at a time!
