I'd run any synthetic 15W-40 and be done with it.

There are other companies besides Shell and Mobil that make 5w40 diesel oil.
If it didn't call for 5w40 specifically...I would just use any good 15w40.

Bought three gallons of rotella at Wal-Mart's yesterday. They had five gallons on the shelf. Just under $17 a gallon. They had delvac and delo also. Several gallons of each.

I just called our local Ford dealer and talked to the main diesel mechanic.
He recommended a regional branded oil called Cenex Maxtron.

I’m really glad that I recently changed the oil in the Cummins and have a little inventory! memtb

Be careful if you have a Ford F-250 6.7 diesel. Ford says that if you use an oil with an API rating of CK-7 you will void their warranty. They say you must use an API CJ-7 oil or their Motorcraft Oil. Rotella T-6 qualifies.

Did you actually receive it? If you did you made a steal. Yes
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

They say you must use an API CJ-7 oil or their Motorcraft Oil. Rotella T-6 qualifies. I think more specifically, be sure the oil meets Ford WSS-M2C171-F1 specification. If it doesn't indicate it on the bottle, can check the manufacturer's website for specs. Ford Launches New Oil Spec For 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel - fordauthority.comFrom the article linked:Ford Motor Company is launching a new oil specification for its Power Stroke diesel engines – and especially the all-new, 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8, as found in the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The spec is called “WSS-M2C171-F1,” which – we think you’ll agree – rolls right off the tongue and no one will have any trouble remembering, ever. Ford is presenting it as a friendlier alternative to the new CK-4 specification, as some oils meeting CK-4 standards have been found to lead to accelerated wear in the new 6.7L Power Stroke due to their low phosphorous content. Ford recommends using CJ-4 oils in a pinch, but that oil is currently being phased out. Ford, through its Motorcraft parts brand, will shortly begin selling its own WSS-M2C171-F1 oils for Power Stroke diesels, but in the meantime, there’s another option: some CK-4 oils have been tested and approved to meet WSS-M2C171-F1 standards. They are available in SAE 10W-40, 15W-40, 5W-40, and 0W-40 grades; SAE 10W-30 oils made to CK-4 spec cannot be compliant with WSS-M2C171-F1.

Rotella is a standard when it comes to quality By who's standards and what criteria? Their quality is no better or worse than: Mobil, Chevron, Shaeffer, Lubrication Engineers, Valvoline..... Their products aren't anything special

New Holland just changed their oil supplier to Shell recently...if you're a die hard fan, you might check the stock at your local NH dealer.

But the man said I do have T6 5w-40 in gallon jugs. I said yeah right... He said we found some old stock inventory. Oh really? ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20220308_152138.jpg) I'd already stopped at Napa and bought some more regular 15w-40. Kept it locked up in the cab while I was in the co-op...lol ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20220308_152125.jpg)

Felt guilty driving home with the loot in plain sight!
And then I gotta show off here, like a dog prancing around with a deer leg...
Providing we don't get robbed or the garage burns down we should be good on oil for the next 12 months.
42 gallons of 5w-40 and about 65 gallons of 15w-40.
And we got the filter order in a couple weeks ago.
One less thing to worry about, that and this chit is only going to go up in price. Might as well stock up.
