Shell Rotella T6.
Thanks. Weird I looked at Rotella T6 and all I could find was 5w-40 available, but sure enough they do make 15w-40.

Shell Rotella T6.
I've been running Valvoline premium blue 15w-40 conventional from day one in my 2016 with no issues. I live in Georgia so no need for the 5w-40.
I see a few people saying they run full synthetic 15w-40, what brand are you using? The only ones I can find in that weight are "blends" unless I look at some of the "guccci" high $ oils (amsoil etc)? Is there full synthetic 15W-40 in a more common brand?

Is there a huge difference between Amsoil ADP vs DME? Also opinion with Rotella T6 15/40 vs Amsoil ADP (seem apples to apples comparison.?.) I’m thinking of purchasing a synthetic 15/40 next oil change to try. Currently I use is Delo 400 SDE 15/40 conventional. Which is good oil.I use Amsoil DME, not on the shelf common most places but easy enough to order. You shouldn’t have to pay full price for it, lots of ways to get it cheaper.
With Shell recently releasing Rotella T6 15w-40 that will likely be the easiest to find in a retail store.

Thanks for the info! I’ve been a Amsoil preferred since ‘08 and used some in my ‘05 & ‘09, but been awhile and all the changes and options now with Amsoil.Yes ADP and T6 are the closest in terms of apples to apples. ADP is their standard synthetic and doesn't have quite the additive package that DME does. It mostly deals with oil longevity, ADP is OEM interval rated and DME is 12 month rated. Neither are a bad oil, nor is T6 or Delo 400.
I like DME for the 12 month rating.
Shoot me a PM if you'd like any info on ordering amsoil.
Any oil will go 12 month without issue. Mileage is what breaks it down.
I've seen conventional oil oil reports that the oil was in the crankcase for 3 years and 20,000+ miles and still good to run.Any oil will go 12 month without issue. Mileage is what breaks it down.
Amazon has t6 15w 40 for $95 (3 gallons).
However, i think (not 100% positive) that t6 is a type III oil (highly refined conventional) and all Amsoil oils are type IV. Synthetic made from conventional oil stock. For about the same price, i would buy the Amsoil??????
T6 is $22 a gallon at Wal Mart ($66 for 3 and I have seen it cheaper) and I can drive right down and pick it up when ever I want.

Friends,
I received the oil analysis back on my 2017 Ram 5500 19970 on the clock, 2nd oil change with about 10K miles on the last change, Mobil 1 5w40, FG Stratapore. I put about 10K miles on the factory oil fill and filter, but forgot I had oil sample kits. So thiHappy to hear any comments from the gallery. Truck duty cycle is between 80 and 90% heavy towing (~34KLbs GCW), the rest is to keep er running and running around while out on the road; (Gary, did I do OK approximating duty cycle?)

Anyhoo, appreciation the input.
Cheers, Ron
most of amsoil products are still type III oils. just better marketing and a few product lines have a better add package for extended oil use. they still buy their base stock form one of the top three suppliers.
