Diesel Oil.....
2006 Cummins 5.9 - 150k miles. I know nothing about this 5.9 that I just bought, except it really runs good. I've always used Delo 400 in diesel engines, what do you prefer and why? Thanks

Got my filters and changed the oil also.
What procedure do you use to change the fuel filter? Do you flip the drain lever to drain the fuel out, or leave the fuel it in and slowly replace the filter?
Thanks
Here's a video on how to change a filter. I think it's best to drain the housing because sediment collects in the bottom of the filter housing and you don't want that **** floating around in the filter housing when installing a new filter and bypassing the filter and goes directly to your HPFP and injectors. Said another way think of the fuel in the filter housing as being contaminated.

What oil and filter did you go with since you asked for opinions?
