Thanks for the info guys, I am very aware of the vast knowledge of the members on this forum that's why I ask questions here rather than just going by what the dealer says. Thanks again for the info guys this forum is great!

Thanks for the info guys! So just talked to the service guy at the freightliner dealer I bought my truck from and he said 10w30 is only for the 2013+ GHG14 trucks. He said my 2012 DD15 was meant to be run on 15w40 or 5w40 as the oil pump is designed to maintain a certain oil pressure with that...
