I'm about to change the oil in my 14 for the first time and was wondering what everybody likes the best in the 6.7's? I live in nc so it's not super cold. Thanks

A 30 weight oil with a viscosity improver of 10 will be plenty sufficient for 95% of superduty owners..
or just run a 5-40 thats already improved lol... why do you think i found out that running the 10-30 with Schaeffers moly ep made the typewriter noise go away? cuz it made it thicker...
i wont run rotella.. it made my 7.3s run like dog chit so i wont touch it. i know i know, apples to oranges but im set in my ways...

blah blah blah.. its a viscosity improver. specifically designed for a 7.3 to help limit oil sheer and to stabilize it... dont need a tets to know what it does.. been using it for a couple years as many others have too..I have tick with 15/40.
Most 98% of the guys talking about oil don't know the first thing about what there talking about unfortunately.
5/40 is still a 40 weight oil. Just more of a 90 weight at 32*F rather than 115 weight like a 15w. Would be.
Did you perform a cSt test on the moly ep added into the 10w30? If not then you have no idea what it did to the oil at operating temperature.
what 15-40 do you run?I have tick with 15/40.

Didn't rotella quit adding zinc to its blend?
for the most part yes.. they got rid of most of the good stuff 6-8 years ago to comply with emissions... but i do believe it still has the most zinc in it..Didn't rotella quit adding zinc to its blend?
