My 2011 Ram 3500 Laramie likes the Rotella T6. It's a good oil and easy to find. I use the T6 year round, you get the protection needed in all climate tempatures.

Walt, I have never used the Schaffer's oil, but I do know that oil has a good quality. By using the 5W40 is smart as well. I bet the inside of your 7.3 is as clean as can be. When I had my 7.3, I used a few brands ( Delo 15w40, Rotella 15w40 and mostly the Motor Craft 15w40). The Motor Craft...

Originally Posted by bbslider001 Tractor Supply 15w-40 or Supertech 15w-40 are REALLY good conventional oils. They are the cheapest out there $$wise, but very robust. I have 300k miles on my 7.3 and have used ST for 3 years now. I have a UOA on here under severe use conditions and it was...

I would hold onto your 7.3 as long as possible. The 7.3 is a favorite with the Power Stroke folks. When I had my 2002 F350 7.3, I changed the oil and oil filter every 5000 miles or 6 months, never had any issues. Of course the front end would get greased as well. My oil was never really dark or...

By the way, there is a great website for the Power Strokes incase you were not aware. powerstrokehelp.com this guy is very knowledgable.

I used to have a 2002 F350 with the 7.3 as well. The 7.3 was in my opinion the best motor International made for these trucks. Mine only had about 131,000 when I got rid of it. Mechanically (Motor, Trans and Differentials) it ran great, loved the truck. The issue I had was the rust around the...

I have never seen the Delo 5w40 at a lower price than Rotella T6. Once in a while, the Delo 5w40 would be the same price as Rotella T6. They are both great choices, just pick one that you like. I have used the Rotella T6 for many years in my Ram Cummins Diesel with no worries.All Rotella oils...

I own a 2011 Ram 3500 4x4 Laramie with the 6.7 Cummins. I have used the Deli 5w40 a few years back. It is a good oil, no issues or complaints. However, after that I have stayed with Shell Rotella T6 5w40, which is also a decent oil. I had trouble in the past finding the Deli 5w40. The Shell...

I used own a 2002 F350 Super Duty with the very reliable 7.3 Power Stroke then made for Ford by International. It was a fantastic motor, trouble free and very easy to work on. It held 15 quarts of oil with that huge oil filter sitting at the bottom of the motor and very easy to get to. I used...

I've used the Motorcraft Fl-1995 also but I've been wary lately due to the Purolator tearing issue. Should this be of concern or should I continue using the MC oil filter? Interesting, I can't offer any opinion on the information you provided. All I can say during my 7.3 days (all good days)...

I have purchased these filters through Geno's Garage

That is a great deal, couldn't pass it up. The Cummins holds 12 Quarts of oil. My previous truck (2002 F350 7.3) held 15 Quarts.

You are 100% Correct. I used to get my Fleetguards Stratapore filters throgh Genos at a good price. But now I use the Mopar MO-285 due to a great deal on a oil and filter package deal and tire rotation. I get four oil changes and tire rotations in a two year period. I get the package for...

I have never read or heard of this information.

I now have a 2011 Ram 3500 with the 6.7 Cummins and only use Rotella T6 with either the Cummins oil filter or the Mopar oil filter (made for Mopar by Cummins) changing both every 5000 miles. I used to own a 2002 F350 with the 7.3 made by International, wow what a good motor. Oil and oil filter...

Well, like I said, my Dealer uses Shell Rotella 15w40 T4 and Shell Rotella 5w40 T6. I always get the oil change package with the Rotella T6, I know I am using a great oil that is diesel rated. In fact,on the Rotella website, Chrysler and Rotella have partnered together with using Shell Rotella...
