Hi, This is my first post, I just purchased a 2005 6.0 and this is my first diesel so any suggestions would be great! I do have the mod bug but first the bare basics any recommendations on oil and filter type? I watched the dealer put what I know is junk oil in the truck when purchsed so I would like to get it out of there as soon as possible.
Thanks guys

Delo 400 is some good oil. Valvoline has a 15/40 diesel oil that is really good as well.

AMSOIL is a great oil ..if you have someone close you can get it from.. I used Rotella in my 7.3 and it seemed like a good oil.

AmsOil is a super oil!!!

But not for a new truck, let the motor get broken in first!!

I ran Rotella T & Delo 400 in mine during break in.

Truck has 26k on it so I would say it's broken in. I live in the Northeast (Delaware) where Temps range from 0-100 so should I use 15/30 or 15/40?
