    But in my BMW, it good to go.

    I'll stick with Rotella T6. I don't buy into the speciality/niche oils personally only because I remember 10ish years ago everyone thought Royal Purple was the bees knees and then it turns out its some of the shittiest oil you can put in your engine.

    Won't argue with that, but when certain vehicles require specific ratings, if the oils meet it you must consider them. The T6 meets my requirements and its easy to find with a respectable cost.

    All was asked is if someone used it and their experience with it.
    As stated, I have in other than a Ram truck. It met the requirements and for several changes, preformed good.

    Now, as for their truck ... will it meet the requirements .. easy of obtaining ?
    They have to determine that.

    You can't improve if you don't look to better yourself.

    That's fair. But the oil specs come from the manufacturer. In most cases, people's decision to change oil brand is purely personal. Outside of extreme duty cases, which should be outlined in the owner's manual, there is little reason to vary from what is recommended. Additionally, running oil that does not meet spec is grounds for a warranty termination.

    This liqui-moly might be great stuff, Ive personally never heard of it and likely would not consider it in my own engine without seeing a wear test on it first.

    So not going to get in a oil war on the forum.. I did that a Few times in the Marines.
    So if the OP hasn’t looked, Go to Liquid Moly website and see if you can even find under oilapplication Ram/dodge trucks with a cummins.
    For whatever reason they only show gas engines and show onlyup to 2009 years.
    After looking at the synthetic diesel oil 5w/40 and couldnot see anywhere that this oil is compatible with any diesel EGR/DPF emission system.
    I have used this brand of oil and Eneos oil when I havechanged past girlfriend(s) car oil, Volkswagen, BMW due to the Euro/oil specsblah blah.

    I myself: Have never witnessed or read about - A lot of love from (diesel truck) owners for this brand of oil.

    Good Luck on your Quest.

    Time has proven - oil choice has boiled down to That Warm Fuzzy Feeling with most owners.

    The oil I bought is not synthetic. They have 2 conventional oils in 15-40 and a couple synthetic diesel oils in 5-40. It's gotten great reviews but I'll probably move on to another oil next time just because it's kind of unknown. I've considered amsoil and royal purple but one response said it's shitty oil, that's news to me I've always heard great things about royal purple. Pretty crazy trying to get the best quality oil for my truck.

    I'll have to dig through the internet, but an independent testing lab did a four roller ball wear test of like 30 different oils; Valvoline VR1 Race Oil came in #1, and Royal Purple came almost dead last.

    I forget the exact specifics on why, but I believe it has something to do with an extremely low zinc level.
