I pretty much decided on the Amsoil for my 2003 Dodge/Cummins but now I am not sure about the weight. Would Amsoil 15w-40 be ok to run all year in PA. or should I switch to a lighter oil in the winter like the 5w-40? Thanks Charlie

Talked to the Dodge dealer today they told me to run nothing but the Dodge gear oil in the differentials it is a 75w-90 synthetic it does not require a limited slip additive. Heres the catch it's $20.83 a quart it takes 7 quarts for both differentials. I really was leaning towards the Amsoil...

This might be a dumb question but I have been reading a lot of the posts & I see a lot of people adding a couple of ounces of LC to there engine oil , differentials, trans. Can some one please tell me what this is & what it does?

I think after reading tons of information on here I am going to try the Shaeffer 7000 15w-40. It really sounds like a very good oil & I want to try it in my 2003 Dodge with the Cummins engine. I am having problems finding the people on here I can order it from. Can you please list all the people...

Do you guys think going with a good synthetic like Delvac 1 or Amsoil & a good filter like the Fleetguard Stratapore or the Amsoil EAO would be safe to run for 10,000 or is it pushing any oil running these short distances every day. Or am I better off just sticking with the dino & changing it...

I was kind of leaning towards the Amsoil. I have heard a lot of good things about it. Some of the guys at work are running it & say it dropped the differential temp quite a bit which means less friction. I think I will give it a try. What do you think of the Amsoil 15w-40 or 5w-40 diesel for the...

Pablo is there anything the Amsoil does better than the others? I notice the Mobil 1 has a few higher numbers but not by much. Does Amsoil have a better additive package? Thanks Charlie

That was the one thing I am concerned about is the very short runs back & fourth to work I know this has to be hard on any oil synthetic or dino. Right now I am running Rotella 15w-40 dino & fleetgaurd filter changing it every 5000 miles. Maybe I will be safer sticking with this? Thanks Charlie

Hi I am new here I have been looking around quite a bit but still do not understand what I am looking for in a oil or gear oil. I have a 2003 Dodge 3500 4x4 with the Cummins diesel & 6 speed tranny. I want to change the front & rear differential oil. I tow a 11,000 pound boat in the summer...
