 valvoline premium blue extreme 5w40

I have not used it yet. I believe Cummins recommends Valvoline oil. I am REAL happy with the Shell Rotella T 5W-40 Synthetic in my Cummins. It stays clean looking much longer. I changed the filter and oil back in November and the oil is still clear on the dipstick when I check it. The Walmart price per gallon is a nice advantage too.

Prior to using the Rotella I have used nothing but John Deere 15W-40 Plus 50 Synthetic Blend. The only difference I have notice so far is that the Rotella 5W-40 Synthetic gives a slightly lower oil pressure at idle and gives off a signature Rotella sulphur like smell. Hence the nickname "Rosmella". It may hit full oil pressure on start ups slightly faster as well but not much faster. Fuel mileage may be a bit better but it is tough to tell in cold weather. Diesels fuel economy drops in cold weather. Pretty much it has been the same or slightly better.

Mine is a 2002 Cummins HO. No such thing as a quiet engine with them. ;O)
