[Robert Johannesen]

I use the NAPA 40W (Valvoline) at $10.71 per gallon in 5 gallon cans.....it only stays in there about 8k miles anyway!

Gary, No problem.
I used full synthetic amsoil 15-40 in my 85 pt-40 for over 100,000 miles and never had a problem and it's still on the road with no problems at over 180,000 miles.
I also used fully synthetic amsoil 15-40 in my 93 8v92 for over 60,000 and never a problem and it's still on the road with no problems.
On my 99 Lx iam using Full synthetic 5-40 Rotela-T.
I used to talk to the Detroit people at the fmca and RIV rally's and they all said as long as it's synthetic run it in the detroits. I also did the oil monitoring and it always came back excellent.
When I bought the 99LX It had 71,000 on it and I did not know what kind of oil the previous owner had used. I called cummins about using the Rotela-T Synthetic and they said the sooner I could get it in the better it would be.
It works for me...
