Good enough for me.

Reminds me of when RAM mocked Ford and GM for using DEF while they were having tons of EGR/turbo/soot problems. The next year? Trucks came with DEF.

Does anyone have any pics of a lariat with the standard 18" alum/magnetic wheels? Ive only seen one and i couldnt tell much from the lighting. Most of what i see is the 20" chrome.

I guess I should have been clearer. I was wondering if the Ford 6.7 diesel oil spec has changed for 2017.

I am on an automatic delivery schedule for Shell Rotella T-6 ($19 delivered, gallon).
Just curious if I should stop and wait for new spec'd oil. I have enough oil currently for 2 oil changes, which will put me into truck order time early next year.

Not sure if you read earlier but the 2017 requires 15 quarts now, not 13 of the previous versions. That will definitely change on your order.

So it's 285 to change your own oil to synthetic? 19 a gallon seems high or am I just in sticker shock for Diesel Synthetic oil?

$19/gallon is a really good price for synthetic diesel oil.

How are you getting $285? 4 gallons at 20 a gallon is $80 plus about $15 for the filter...

Because I was thinking that the engine holds 15 gallons not quarts. It was a long night...
