Any 13' Ram DEF MPG yet?
Just stopped by dealer and checked out a new'13 Ram 2500 4x4 Laramie Diesel and was wondering if anyone got theirs yet? How are the MPG's compared to the last few years? Any other thoughts? Thank...

What grade of oil are they using in your new Cummins Jim???
Synthetic, synthetic blend or straight dino oil???
15,000 mile oil change recommended?
As far as I can tell it's straight dino oil 15W-40....This truck does have the 15,000 mile oil change interval..States if you use a synthetic oil, make sure it meets Cummins specs.
The oil from Cummins is 5-40 Synthetic Rotella. Original fill!
I didn't see that information, but it works for me...cool:)
Stuart Miller Regional Training Mgr. from Chrysler held a walk around with a 13 Ram 3500 single rear wheel SB in Pahrump at the first of the month. I pulled the dipstick and noticed it was very clean. That is when he said the oil was Rotella 5-40 Synthetic factory fill.
So there goes the theory of waiting X number of miles before running synthetic.
At 2K I started running AMZ/OIL 100% synthetic 15-40.
I drain my oil overnight on my 11 HO Ram and after oil change I start it and check level and the oil is black.
This is all good news on the 13 Rams!
