All three I ran Rotella T6 5w-40. I ran 5K oil changes with OEM or WIX filters. All had Blackstone oil analysis done, and all passed every time with flying colors.

Pros: passed every time
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 8046 km

The interesting part is that the T6 was used to tow a camper from Indiana to the Oregon coast where we are now. It’s interesting to see the viscosity, flashpoint and Moly are higher in the T6 even after towing through the mountains and more miles on the change.

Pros: higher viscosity
Mileage: 7886 km

I wouldn’t go with 0W20. Most people thicken the oil up in these when they start getting excessive oil burning. Lots of folks running Rotella 5W40. I ran it for years before I got tired of paying the premium price.

Pros: thicken oil, excessive oil burning
Cons: premium price

I tried Rotella when I first had my truck but it kept smelling like it was burning so I went to Valvoline Full Synthetic since it’s certified for Cummins.

Cons: smelling like it was burning
