If any of you have an Advance Auto Parts nearby they have the VPB 15w-40 on sale for $7.15 a gallon! I bought 9 gallons today as I'm due for a change and picked up my strataphore filters and fuel filters from Amazon for now and the next couple of changes.
I thought this was a great deal and figured I'd pass it along. I know it's not the 5w-40 synthetic, but here in the Deep South it will serve me fine. I've been running the Delo LE but couldn't help but try this oil for the price. Plus it's what Cummins recommends. I'm aware that's mostly marketing, but still a win win I feel. Hopefully this will help someone out!
Wow, that's a fantastic deal. Yes, Valvoline Premium Blue is the Cummins specified oil and living in the South you're fine running it year round.
In my area we occasionally see temps below zero. So, rather than bother switching with the seasons I just run Rotella T6 5W40 all year. I was getting some parts at my local dealership recently and I asked them what they use when they do oil changes. The parts manager said Rotella T6 5W40 goes into every single oil change they perform on the Cummins 6.7L trucks regardless of season.
