I talked to a friend that works at a local Ford Dealership parts Dept. He said that being as I have a 2004 6.8L V-10 that I could just continue to use the 5w-20. But it would not hurt if I used the 10W30 Synthetic Blend. So unless the 5w20 oil becomes unavailable I will just continue to use that...

I have a 2004 Fod 6.8L V-10 it has 36000 miles on it I have been using 5w-20 Motorcraft blended oil in it from the day I bought it. I read the Ford now recommends 5w30 Semi Synthetic is that correct?

When I first started reading your post I almost laughed, Sorry that this happened to you but glad there was no real damage except for a tank of fuel and fuel filter or two. Boy did you dodge the bullet. Take your wife out to dinner and thank her for being level headed enough to call you after...

On my 2500 Ram Truck, I have a 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel. The Owners Manual calls for 7500 Miles, 500hrs. or 6 Months which ever comes first. I have had my truck since 11Mar16, I have just under 3895.7 miles on it. So I took it and had the Oil and Oil Filter changed. I would have waited until I...

It's such a shame that the Greatest Generation is going away so quickly.

To all that have replied to this thread. Thanks you for the input. I have looked high and low for Shell Rotella T-5 Synthetic Blend. I was preparing for a trip in my new 2016 Ram Laramie.(I wanted a couple of Qt's of Oil to have if needed) Not one local parts house, or for that matter Wal-Mart...

Thanks The reason I asked is and I know you probably will not believe this, but I asked a Salesman at a local dealership "Do you know what brand of Oil comes in the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel and when do I change the oil? He did not know and said he would ask and that was about a month ago, still...

Good afternoon: Does anyone know what the oil is that comes in the Ram Trucks with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel ? Also which oil is recommended to run in that motor after first Oil Change? Thank You in advance for all available information.

Good Morning(it still is here),I have a question about my Onan Microquiet 4.0 KY Generator in my RV. I just had to put a new carburetor on it to the tune of $307.50 anyway.(because it was not started in 8+ months) I was talking to the guy at the Onan Authorized Service center. He said to use...
