JT: Great advice/Info above to consider!
I myself like/enjoy being different - I'm not a follower!
I knew before I bought my 2017 6.7L - what oil & viscosity I was going to use.
Due too this companies long history & reputation and extremely high quality of ALL their products I chose to run Schaeffers.
Mainly due to the formulation of their diesel oils & use of Moly in this formulation. Schaeffers incorporates its own brand of Micron Moly & Penetro (additives) that a UOA will not totally reveal.
Is it actually needed? Results don't lie! Is it necessary? Thats a question Only the actual owner can answer!
I only use Fleetguard oil filters - The Stratapore & LF9028 ES & only Mopar/Fleetguard (2 stage) engine fuel filters.
FG53000/68157291AA.
Chassis filter I will use either fleetguard FS20089 or Mopar 68197867AA.
Since your in Houston: You can easily get by with running conventional 15W-40 if you like or a 5W-40 - it's still a 40wt @ operating temp.
At the end of the day: Run what brand & viscosity that suits your wallet & driving habits/style - which also plays a large role in your question.
Nothing wrong with conventional oils & mopar filters - if you don't work/tow with your 6.7L often & for long periods of time.
There are a few tools to purchase to actually make your oil change easier & mess free.
Good luck! Like a said a lot of good advice posted before me!
My man Marion is a Hoot - but very helpful!
These 2 tools made my first oil change easy & mess free!
I love the oil filter wrench - the OEM filter was a snap to get loose.
Only draw back is you have to use a bottom fluted oil filter.

Jay: Does your billet fuel cap replacement have any leaking issues?
I've read reviews on the threads are not deep enough @ will not tighten for a proper seal.
