As a retired Deputy Sheriff, I can say that our agency was using Schaffer's motor oil since 1980. I cannot remember a blown patrol car engine. It's good stuff. I use Rotella 15w40 full synthetic in my recently purchased 2013 3500 with 52k miles. No leaks noted. It is used for monthly towing of a 7,500 lb camp trailer as well as daily driving. My first diesel. Cummins says to use 15w40 in their 2007.5 - 2018 engines if the temps are over 0* F and 5w40 if temps are below 0* F. The 2019's are 10w30 > 0* , 5w40 < 0*. We seldom see below zero temps in southwest Washington.

At 0 degrees fahrenheit I think 15 w is very very viscous. I still don't understand why would they even suggest that grade at those low temperatures. Do you know something I don't know?

My long time personal experience with this is maintenance. Extended drain intervals in the long run really don't save you much money. Most leaking diesels can be traced back to someone who doesn't change oil enough. Old oil takes its toll on gaskets and seals and eventually the engine itself. Also cool down is important. I never see anyone cool an engine down anymore. This also cooks gaskets and seals. You will spend more money in the long run extending maintenance than just changing the oil and filters. And old guy told me many years ago that no matter how much fuel and oil cost it will be the cheapest things you will ever spend money on while you own it. Just my 2 quarts

Unless you own a 6.0 powerstroke. 5/40 and 10/30 give them easier cold starts because the oil isn't as thick cold. I'd like to add that the additive package in Rotella is garbage. Most injector builders won't warranty your injectors if you run Rotella.

To add, for 6.7 powerstroke the manual advises 15-40 when using bio diesel blends like many big truck stops have. Also oil sampling for me has best results with schaeffers

15W-40 is fine in winter if you plug the truck in all the time. John Deere oil is a great oil. Nothing works harder than a tractor out in a field on a 95 degree day.

OK guys the reason to go with the manual recommended oil is not only temp but big reason is how the engine is made i.e. bearing clearances. When a engine lube system is designed it is with a certain viscosity being used. hear is an extreme example for those of you who think it doesn't matter. run 10W oil in a engine and you wont the oil won't stay between the metal surfaces longer enough to prevent contact. run 90w gear oil and the oil pump won't be able to put enough oil through the bearings to prevent contact. You have to keep the pressure in the factory spec. that is why you go with the engine recommended viscosity. Second, synthetic oil won't go through seals just because its synthetic. if your seals are bad and your using conventional oil that doesn't clean deposits nearly at all then the seals probably have some deposits on the oil side which does help a little in preventing leaks, but when you put synthetic in it has much better cleaning power and will clean the oil side of the seals which could then leak out. BUT that wouldn't happen if your seals are in good condition. Its all about the condition of the engine when you switch. And one aspect of synthetic oil is its molecules are much more uniform in size i.e. its been processed a whole lot more if thats worded right.

I hear this said often, but clearances have been the same for decades. Why is it that my minivan with 9k miles specced for 5 30, runs perfectly fine on 15 40?

What do you mean by overseas manuals? also variable valves are controlled hydraulically i.e. engine oil and are designed to run with factory spec viscosity. Yes you can use different viscosity depending on avg ambient temp, like texas compared to alaska but that is also listed from the factory. I am a heavy equipment technician and have been doing this for a while. There are a lot of reasons to go with the factory specified viscosity and anyone who says different is ignorant on the matter. In other words you are not mechanically inclined and use should do some research as to what oil does for an engine and why it needs to be a specific viscosity. Look a little deeper than the car owners manual my friend.

Hey PD diesel power, from my experience in the HD equipment world an oil sampling something to consider on your oil sample tests from Schaffer. You mentioned the Ram 6.7 Cummins with 15w40 Shaffer oil having to add oil at 10,000 miles. That is the point where the oil is broken down an should be changed, the fact the oil has been added consistently over the next 14k miles (4 qt total) then sample taken at 24k miles an levels on report show it okay is because your adding oil, which adds the additives back in. If you'd like to test it further, trying with fresh oil but filling it a little overfull, then running it to 10k miles, take sample, then stretch it as far as possible before oil goes to low on dipstick where itd be unsafe to run engine(without adding any oil) and resample. Guaranteed the oil will be on the margin of good/bad on that second sample, an the rate of deterioration from first sample to second will be significant. Adding oil is just masking up the issues of the oil degrading. Also all things considered this is assuming no oil leaks or valve stem/rings passing oil an prematurely burning it. Would love to see a in-depth video on this an oil report samples. Thanks

According to the manual, you should only use 5w-40 or 10w-30 in the 2019+ ram trucks with the Cummins.

CES 20081 is the meets or exceeds for the Cummins 6.7 and 15w 40 is recommend for all temps above 0 F... People who need something different know it already... The important thing is pick one and stay with it... Diesel motor oil creates the oil film required by to keep the piston rods off the crank shaft... 30 weight is to light for a diesel...the owners manual has a simple oil selection chart and for the Cummins as long as you are using the stated viscosity and it meets the specified cummins spec (CES 20081) it is the proper oil...

No. Mainly 'High Mileage' motor oils have the seal conditioners.

So much to learn.

Oil used to be formulated to protect against engine wear. Now it’s formulated for emissions. Things like Zinc that are great for engines are bad for catalysts. So they have been removed. There’s so much detergents especially in synthetic oils. That most of the great additives stay suspended in the oil and can not adhere to the metal any more. This is why you break in a new or rebuilt engines with a straight weight non detergent oil. Back in the day filtration system technology were not that good. That’s why you can get the oil pan off with out removing the engine in most classic cars. They would remove the oil pan and clean the sludge every 15,000 miles. A lot of people didn’t and sludge started becoming a problem. As oil filtration systems started getting better they needed to add detergent. Detergent bonds with the contaminated particles to make them bigger and keep them suspended in the oil so that it can be removed when traveling through the filter. The thinner they run the oil in hopes of less windage and better MPG the higher the film strength needs to be with less contaminate in it . So they keep adding detergent and because there’s so much detergent in modern synthetic oils. None of the great additives they put in for engine wear can stick to anything in the motor. It’s said zink ruins modern catalyst emissions systems. I don’t know that for a fact but that’s what they say. The best Oil is RedLine I know that for a fact. Followed by Clean Boost and Swepoil.

Castrol switched to none synthetic base stock oil but kept the label as full synthetic, misleading public with fake label. Mobil 1 tested Castrol oil and found that they have switched to none synthetic base stock oil but kept the label. API didn't even know about it or tested the oil, because API doesn't test oil for quality. Mobil 1 took Castrol to the court due to false advertising and false label, but lost the case.

Just recently one major oil company tested other major oil company Diesel motor oil and found that it doesn't even meet specifications. Most of the diesel motor Oils on the market don't even meet specifications or on the border line. You probably asking yourself, why should I care how it's formulated? Full synthetic Oils, don't provide same level of protection as synthetic against wear, Oil consumption, resistance to heat, resistance to break down, resistance to fight byproducts and so on. Why PD is against the Amsoil, because he has high oil consumption with Schaefer and he thinks it will be same case with Amsoil, but that's not the case. His oil analysis report is not correct, because his Cummins has Oil consumption and he keeps adding oil which means his lab results will be positive due fresh oil.

Would there be a potential issue changing from rotrella t4 to t6 on a 2018 6.7 cummins? Has 6k on it now also what mileage would you go synthetic for break in purposes? On a side note your channel helped convert me away from powerstroke.

It left the Cummins assembly plant with T6 because they dont know if it'll end up in AK or FL.

So the Schaffer’s u uses in the 4 th gens semi synthetic?

hello have you done a lab test on rotella t4 , if yes what is the zinc level , thank you

Which Schaffer’s gear oil are you using?

any thoughts / experience / on transmission?? aisin

Great common sense overview of which oils working best for you

thank you for the info

Do you use bi-pass filters

Most oils that are multi weight even the better oils will not always perform well at either end for a long period of time .. Hence it is best to work with a weight that will protect your motor for the work environment you work in and rest in as well.

All I've heard is blah blah blah

No shit! Blabbering!

What should I run in my 1976 240D and 1974 peugeot both are non turbo and both use conventional oil in alabama I found fleet diesel oil straight 40weight for a great price $70 a gallon

Good video. Basically you should use 5w40 if you'll run the truck in lower temperature ranges and 0w40 if it'll be run in extremely low temperatures (ie arctic circle or wherever gets -30 degrees). At colder temps the 5 weight will still flow whereas 15 weight will be thicc like molasses.

natey891.......The AMSOOIL Signature Diesel oil 15W-40 has a "POUR POINT" of -40 F Their 5W-40 Grade has "POUR POINT" of -45 F so there is only a 5 degree difference in them. The tests are ASTM D-97

i'd love to use schaeffer, but the nearest dealer is 100 miles away. I guess I could make a trip and buy in bulk and just store it.

Where are you located?

You might have some issues changing from one brand to another until the first oil change, then you should be ok, sometimes it take a while to clean out the old oils additive package. (may burn some oil for a while)

As for a big rig shell worked best. Never ran ams oil, but the others did seem to leak more. Oh, never ran shafers.

You can compare quality oils from major companies to amsoil schaffers ect. Phillips Mobil shell and more all make oils that will far outlast the interval recommend. You can do oil samples with those brands and see if you have an advantage in buying the specialty oils. Good products yes they are. Far superior no they aren’t

I reckon all those tools are for working on that old XJ I know the feeling lol

How do we feel about my dad pulling two wagons of grain (60k lbs) with his 06 2500 duramax 20+ times a fall? He doesn't seem to care that he abuses his pickup with a semi load lmao

Schaeffer's!!!

Redline is still the Boss

The owners manual defines oil spec for these engines, if you read it you'll see. The Cummins engineers that built this engine from the ground up probably know exactly what is needed to give you the best service and long life. If whatever oil you like, or are willing to pay for meets the Cummins spec for these engines you will be fine. So much crapola surrounding motor oils. And, here's the truth: You and I will never know the actual chemical make up of any of these oils. Go ahead, call the manufacturer. They won't tell you anything (even Schaeffers) It's all top secret shit. So, one's opinion is just that!! Opinion! Don't get caught up in the bs, just run manufacturer spec products, brand of your choosing, they are all good.

Do you know the temperature range of the rotella 15w40?

I’ve heard once you use a synthetic oil you have to stick with it and not go back to conventional??

You can go back and forth. Or mix them. I've done this many times and have over 270,000 miles. I have been using full synthetic the last two years. I've had the truck for 20 years now.

Do you use 15w40 even when its -10F

I just switch in November and then back at the end of March, fuck with the Schaeffer's because of the shear stability. 07 f350 6.0

Engine Oil leaks is the result of worn-out engine components. Oil failed to protect engine from wearing out, you can thank your low quality oil.

Pick an oil and stick with it, that's the best thing to take away from this video. I use Rotella T4 and won't put anything else in my Duramax, I chose to go with that oil mostly because of availability, no matter where you are you can get Rotella 15/40 oil.

Does the USA have an obsession with oil brands? I'm a mechanic here in Ireland and oil brand is completely irrelevant to customers and garage's alike. Oil is chosen on its manufacturer spec, ie VW 507.00 etc and changed every 15000 KMS.

highway miles

I can only run VW spec oil. Diesel ownership is so dogmatic.

What a waste of my time , this was the most brain dead BS I've ever heard about oil
