Posted March 13, 201114 yr Need Some Suggestions on what people thing on brand and weight of oil for 5.9L?
March 13, 201114 yr Owner Well I tell you this much... 15W-40 for weight... Amount should be 11 quarts. As for what brand well that is a touchy subject...
March 13, 201114 yr 3rd gen's take 12 qts. A full synthetic 15w-40 is what I run/reccommend. Can't go wrong with the Amsoil AME 15w-40.

March 17, 201114 yr Royal Purple 15w40. Used to use rotella but it had a strong smell. Also used Amsoil but just switched to RP for no real reason. I think a lot of people will say different things and it may just come down to personal preference.
March 17, 201114 yr I use a variety of different oils but always some of this. It is the most amazing lube I have ever seen.
March 25, 201114 yr I run Vavoline premium blue 15-40 Thanks!!!!!! I was thinking that I was the only one running the stuff..............at least here anyhow!!!!!! Not that I really care all that much, because I used to run the WallyWorld 15W40 and some folks would give me crap about it. But I proved them wrong!!! Hehehehehehehe

Hehehehehehehe Between Dorkweed running Walmart oil and going 84K miles on a single oil change with Blackstone lab testing. Then with CajFlynn with nearly 1 million miles on his truck running Chevron Delo 15W-40. I'd say most all oils out there will meet the requirements of the engine just fine.
March 25, 201114 yr This^^^^^^!!!! You cannot market an oil, fuel additive:doh:, oil additive, coolant additive, etc........that ain't been tested beyond belief!!!!! Save for 2 stroke oil...............it's not marketed as a diesel additive, so it flies "under the radar"!!!!!! That's great IMHO!!!! The contrarian in me!!
March 26, 201114 yr I stocked up on the premium blue they had it at the napa near me for 9.99 a gal. I couldnt pass it up so I bought a couple cases!
March 29, 201114 yr 15-40 of whatever is on sale. Personally think anything else is a waste of $$$ Excellent......another cheap-___ like me!!! :thumb1: You got a single sister??!!!!
March 29, 201114 yr Maybe a little bit of a cheap azz but I generally don't get suckered into the "hype" of the crap too many people buy these days

Maybe a little bit of a cheap azz but I generally don't get suckered into the "hype" of the crap too many people buy these days I'm also in this catagory... But... I still look for a good quality name brane oil like Chevron Delo, Mobile One, Shell Rotella, etc. That meet the CI-4 or CJ-4 requirements.
