6.0L synthetic oil type

[dezmitchell]

Buddy just texted me asking what oil he should run in his 6.0 powerstroke i have no clue i dont even run a diesel.

what do you boys recommend i think he has synthetic in it now and doesnt know what to run because he just bought the truck.

For the winter any brand name 0w40 or 5w40 diesel specific it says on the label. Delvac Mobil, shell rotella T, Chevron Delo all good choices. Check walmart, canada tire, ufa etc. summer 15w40 is fine. Have him check on rev-x oil additive google it some swear it helps the 6.0L survive because it does have its fair share of issues.

Rotella 5w-40

I ran Amsoil in my 6L when I had it, prior to amsoil I was using Mobil 1. Noticable difference when cold starting in the winter. I think it was 0w40 or 5w40.

Chevron Delo 400 LE, full syn 0W-40.
find it cheapest at UFA

I have always ran 15/40 in the summer, and 10/30 in the winter in my 05. But I will look into getting some 0/40 or 5/40 now.

Screw that guys. 0w40 or 5w40 year round in a powerstroke.

First off 15w40 will coke up the injectors cause its too thick cold.
Also 10w30 in any DSL in winter is just stupid.
What about a Chinook day with a +10-15 day.
30 weight hot isn't think enough for a DSL hot.
Only fords use huie injectors that use engine oil to boost fuel-injector pressure.
Use good oil all year and have way less issues
Been proven.

Don't hold back Tex....... tell us how you really feel !!!

Look for a product called hot shot secret and run that with your oil. It will do wonders for your injectors and turbo.

Isnt that Hot Shot Secert something to pour in before doing an oil change? I didnt think you could run it full time?

Nope you run it full time and it sure makes it run smother.
