Which brand of oil?

[DocDetonancour]

Time for my first oil change on the 04 CTD. Which do you guys prefer and why? Rotella or Delco or something else. Thanks, Doc

Rotella-T 15W40 !

Put me down for the Rotella-T 15W40. It's a great oil, priced right, and readily available almost everywhere. Now that the '03 and newer CTD's are out, there's no leftover quart of unused oil in the gallon jug..... one quart to prime the filter and the other eleven go into the crankcase.

$35 for a case [6 gallons, 24 quarts]for rotella at sams club. That is enough for exactly two changes. $11 and change for a chrysler filter; thats only $29 for a change. Most of your big shops use rotella. I use it strictly because all the big equipment shops I have worked in only used rotella so I guess they must know something.

I like the Cummins Premium Blue Made by Valvoline. It works Fantastic.

Rotella



All are good key is to change often. The more bombing the the more we need to keep the oil clean.

Delo is my favorite, been seeing great analysis on the Delvac samples on the generators at work. Have been getting great results on the analysis every 5K on the Delo from my Cummins.



I used rottella for years in the road trucks, I can't say anything bad about it. Trucks have been a million or more miles on all three of these oils.
