Deleted Non LE Oil???

But that doesn't mean the oil was substandard. It means you have other problems contributing to fuel dilution.

Yes, it may have problem clearing the dpf. I have determined by changing my driving habits that it is not a leaky injector. Instead, it seems to be more related to the after injection that is meant to clear the dpf.

I use a slightly thicker oil which is only available in synthetic. Even though the oil was thinned by dilution, there were surprisingly almost nonexistent levels if metal.

Friends,

My turn to toss a turd into the punchbowl. This is from Cummins Website: https://www.cummins.com/na/sales-and-service/lubricants

To learn more about Valvoline's Premium Blue Oils available for Cummins engines, please contact your nearest Cummins Sales and Service location.

I've never used this oil, but am now thinking about it. Sure, naysayers will comment Valvoline and Cummins are in bed together, and whether they are or not, this is their recommendation and rationale.

Cheers,
