Message: [QUOTE="6.7Bison, post: 1557012, member: 32432"] I think I saw you post this on one of the facebook pages. Didn't get to answer it there so I will give you an example of what I do. I'm sure there are lots of opinions on this subject. I do it myself as it's fairly simple and I know for certain what is being used on my truck. Would probably be cheaper to have the local lube tech do it. I run Fleetguard filters for both engine and fuel. PNs are LF17494 and FK22004 respectively. Learned about them in my days behind the parts counter at a John Deere dealership. Cummins uses them OEM. High filtration rates, good quality, not terrible on price. For oil I have used John Deere's Plus 50 -II CJ-4 0w-40. When I couldn't find any more of those, I switched to Rotella T6 CK-4 in 0w-40 or 5w-40. When that supply dried up recently I grabbed a bucket of Schaeffer's 5w-40. So far I'm not as big a fan as cold starts seem to be rougher. Could be another issue somewhere but it started after I changed my oil. I use the waste oil when burning brush or trash to get the temps up or as retreatment on wooden posts installed in wetter areas. I haven't looked into it yet but I may be in the same boat when it comes to transmission fluid and filter. May do Amsoil on the trans fluid and Motorcraft filter. [/QUOTE]
