So just bought a 2013 with 85k miles and it’s all stock ... my question is what oil is best for the motors .. best tune for it while still being functioning emissions ( will delete when problems come about) and any advice for a new Cummins owner

New ride

 

thats a beautiful truck
192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1

 

I changed the rims it looks better now

 

I have a 2020 Ram Tradesman, pull a 5th wheel toy hauler. Shell Rotella synthetic 10w30 for diesels. Don't forget fuel filters every 10,000 miles. Always liked Shell Rotella products, go to Walmart to buy oil. My motor takes 3 gallons check your manual. Good Luck!

 

13'S take either 15w40 or 5w40

 

Wow, I just got the same truck through an online auction using the Auction Streaming Vehicle Inspection Report. I hope you're enjoying yours as much as I am mine!

 

I like Valvoline Premium Blue for both my Cummins. It is more expensive but has treated my engines well. I used to have oil analysis completed every once in a while and it holds up well.

 

I too am a Shell Rotella fan. 5W40 all year long. I change it every 10000km along with all the filters ( Air, Oil Fuel). Never had an issue with the engine in 336000km. Trans flush and diffs every 80000km as well

For your 2013 Cummins truck:

Oil: Use a high-quality diesel engine oil like 15W-40 or 5W-40. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil type.

Tune: Look for a tune that is emissions-compliant, such as ones from reputable brands that offer tunes for better performance without deleting emissions components. Some options include Edge or Banks.

Advice:

Maintenance: Regularly check and change the oil, filters, and fluids.
Diesel Additives: Consider using additives to help with fuel quality and engine performance.
Cooling System: Keep an eye on the cooling system to prevent overheating.
Exhaust: Keep the exhaust system in good shape, especially if you plan to delete emissions later.
Stick to routine maintenance and address any issues early to keep your truck running smoothly.
