If you need something in the interim, Mobil Delvac 1 synthetic should be available at most truck shops or truck stops.

Syn is always better... just make sure that it is rated for the Cummins... I use Scheaffer Supreme7000 15/40 and it works great... Only complaint is it takes longer to heat up the truck in the winter.

Why not use the real thing with Cummins recipe contracted and brewed by Valvoline?
