Having trouble finding Rotella 5w here in the Cincinnati area. Anyone able to help out with this? Have 15w in now and get a terrible romp on cold start up for 2-3 minutes or so. I thought I would try the 5w this time to see if it made any difference. Thanks for any help. 5moons
You are watching your oil level....not to high correct???

To be honest with you Tim, when I got the truck the oil level was 1/4" up the metal shaft of the dipstick and the truck ran flawlessly, but it was also during the warmer season. Did the first oil change and put the level right at "min" and ever since it has idled very rough, and now romping on a cold start-up. Just getting ready to do 2nd oil change in 500 miles or so.
...Hum...the difference between where it was new and where you have it now would not make the engine romp....have you had it flashed...have you had it to the dealer?

No I have not had it to the dealer, talked with them about it and they would like to see it, however I am leary of a flash, I do not want to lose my tow/haul mode. I am very pleased with the way it currently functions while engaged for towing.
What year is yours and how many miles on it...any other issues.

I think I looked at the 10W 30 while I was in wally world and I thought it said to go to 5W due to the cold. Cant remember. Anyway this has been helpful in trying to determine what type to get. 5W 40 or the Delow 400 looks like my options for now. I will be going to Anchorage Tuesday so I will probley see what I can find. PS can anyone recommend who has the cheapest prices for fuel filters?
Oilgaurd is a sponsor of this site (FTE) they have a link right from here if you go to sponsor listing it will take you right to their site. I am all for saving money and if they sponsor this site they gotta be good dont ya know.

They are one of the best to deal with...order their OilGuard system at the same time....
It really is a great system....and yes I run one, it was on the truck before I hit a 100 miles
