Yeah on a PC it shows your signature on every post you make but on Tapatalk it doesn't show anything but the post content. Currently I have the link to my Fluid Film write-up and Spark Plug change write up in my signature but I don't think that's visible in Tapatalk...

Might even be worth a call or email to Cummins to see what they recommend for oil for the 6.7. After FCA changed the Ecodiesel to 5w40 and the fact that 5w30 makes these Hemis run better than 5w20, I really don't trust anything they recommend for viscosity

I was at the dealership a couple of months ago and they told me they were using PUP EURO 5/30 in diesels. He didn't specify eco diesel or Cummins or both, just what we out in the diesels.

Before I drove my ram off the dealership lot they told me that I had 2years of Free oil changes. Which equals out too 4!
I made a point too ask them what oil & viscosity do they use when They do they’re 6.7L CTD service.

I was instructed they exclusively use Shell Rotella T6 5W-40.
Steven took me back into the back & showed me the 2 pallets.

During the Summer OCI I will add 4oz of ZDDPlus too help add some extra Zinc/Phosphorus.
Just for a little extra piece of mind while towing.

I was at one moment going to run Delo 400LE 5W-40.
But overnight local Walmart took it off the shelf and replaced it with more space for the T6 and Amazon just unexpectedly quit selling it. (Maybe to make room for this new weaker oil, which hadn’t arrived yet).

The old 400LE 5W-40 version shows Unavailable.
Amazon now shows the weak A$$ CK-4/SN version which is very low in Zinc/Phosphorus (No Thanks)!

Beware New Diesel owners: These CK-4/SN Oils will state in fine print——->(suitable for gasoline engines!)—->Which means this oil has Zinc/Phosphorus levels below 1K ppm.
Due to its very low ZDDP levels no harm will come to the catalytic converters (gasoline engines).
Which most of us know there have been many gasoline oils used for 20 some yrs with well over 1K ppm of ZDDP & many owners have reported No issues with their converters.

Your average owners won’t have a clue or for that matter not even care!
I’m not your Normal Owner.

I might just avoid this whole mess & begin stocking up on the 9000 5W-40 for my first & future OCI. It’s only $3 more then the T6 on Amazon.

Dam! Did it again! Thanks Fellas got me thinking now I changed my mind! But no more worries about the SN crap.

I was going to run Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5W-40 but it’s tough to find & Very pricey.

I thick so much of that depends on the actual dealer. Some are providing the quality you expect, others are just doing what they have to to get by.

I agree totally!
I’m fortunate Steven is a huge 6.7L CTD enthusiast & keeps his staff fully trained & is the No#1 Ram 6.7L dealer in the metro.

@SyN , I can't believe your 2500 HD owner's manual calls for 75W-85 GL-5 Fluid in your rear differential when my 1500 Calls for 75W-140 GL-5. ????

I find it strange too. Mine obviously says the same thing. I will put something in it a little tbicker but not to much. O may go with somthing around a 110 or 140 as well.

Anyone know why they recommend such a thin gear oil for a 2500 and 3500?

I wonder if it is AAM telling them this for some reason..

Awe murdered me some eggnog man, dropped at least 8 ounces makers in that baby as well. What a fkin day, bbq for 40 people. Fk it you only live once, gonna go get me another. Tri Tip and andouille sauce is my claim to fame around these parts, but every year the party keeps growing.

Anyone want a guaranteed crowd pleaser, 2 andouille sausages fresh and raw, 2 bulbs garlic, 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1 qrt heavy cream. brown sausage and garlic in EVOO, add chicken stock and boil, add heavy cream and boil, reduce and stir til thickens, spread on tri tip and french bread. I've been doing this now 22 years, and every time there is a party to be had, they always want it at my home and ask for the sauce. Even thanksgiving these folks want tri tip and sauce instead of turkey. Someone make that once, I dare you. Can kick it up with cayenne, or even better Asian chill garlic sauce. My nieces and nephews be calling me 6 months in advance to let me know they are asking for that vacation day because they want Burla's tip and sauce.

Just sharing as I thought it was interesting. How often do you get to see them run hard with the valvetrain visable.

Clear valve cover. Look how long it takes oil to fully flow on the 2nd video

Comon man, a chef never devolges all his secrets, we know you put a bit of redline in there to sweeten it up.

Now I'm hungry.....

Schaeffers 9000 5w-40 is $31 and change for a gallon jug on Amazon. Thats well over $7/quart. If you contact your local Schaeffers rep it's highly likely he can beat that by a good margin. If you spend at least $375 you'll get free shipping. I recently bought 3, 6-gallon cases of the Schaeffers 9000 5w-40 from my local rep, and the per quart price was just a tad over $5/quart. It's worth a call to see what he can do for you. And also, as your 6.7 Cummins uses 12 quarts per change, 3, 6-gallon cases really isn't that much.

Nice kill RLK

Finally we get a shaeffers guy around here. Lots love for the oil company responsible for so many oil guys including myself knowing about moly. Syn posted their moly bible up a while back, always a good read.

Hey Kyle, those are always cool to watch. Believe it or not they have one of those on a drag car at the drags. Just goes to show you how fast the lifters are lifting and falling.
