First Oil Change


Recommended Posts

Posted

How long should I run my Duramax on it's factory oil before changing?

Also many miles should I go before changing to synthetic?

Is Moble-1 any good for diesels?

What other Kinds of oils are good for the Duramax?

Any 15w-40 synthetic good?

 

Thanks

I would change it out at 2k. Need to get rid of all that breakin lube and keep it clean. Then run regular oil for another 4k then switch to synthetic.

 

If you follow what is in your owners manual you can't go wrong.

 

Delvac 1 is really good synthetic oil for diesel's. It is known as the million mile oil.

 

Delvac 1300 is good nonsynthetic.

 

Remember to go with a diesel oil and not a regular gas oil, there is a big difference between the 2.

 

Shell Rotella is an other popular oil from what I have seen on here and other forums.

 

Amsoils 15w-40 diesel oil is really good also. It runs $5.20 a qt or $20.50 a gallon. If you want anymore info on Amsoil just let me know.

 

These are the main oils I'm familar with. :lol:

Gotta vouch for AMSOil Diesel oil. My father (owns his own diesel shop) uses it exclusively.
