Hi everyone I have a 2007 dodge pickup has 3080 miles what is the best oil to use. I don't do a lot of heavy hauling . I use wix filters any problem with that.

 

Sorry i forgot to list engine 5.9 turbo diesel

 

valvoline premium blue is what i use 15w40 all year round (we get cold winters and ive never had a prob)

 

First off, welcome to DTR. Nice to have another aboard. As far as your oil goes, any of these will work:

15/40
Rotella
Valvoline
John Deere
Mystic
Delo
Amsoil
Royal Purple
Mobile
.... and some I forgot. I swap back and forth from Rotella, Valv, Amsoil, and John Deere. I send in an oil sample in every oil change, and they all come back the same, no matter which oil. So, just pic one and have fun on DTR

 

ive always used rotella and so far I think it has done good things. Ive run amsoil in my bike, but not in the truck... It does good in the bike and I hear nothing but good about it in diesels

 

I use Amsoil 15w/40.

No problem with the Wix if you are doing "regular" oil changes. They are good filters. If you want extended oil changes, then you want something like Amsoil's EAO80 filter and/or their by-pass system. Frantz also makes an excellent by-pass system, but is a little messier to clean than Amsoil's spin on filters.

 

This man has correct answer. Let your bilfold be the judge on which you buy. The higher price oil gives greater bragging rights but not necessarily better features. JMHO

 

Thanks guys for your help i have heard nothing but good things about rotello 15w40 so thats what i'll use i don't like to spend money so i can brag i just keep my trucks in good shape thanks again.

 

Hey fork10, what part of SWVa are you in? I'm in the big town of Nickelsville.
