Not unless you have problems..... change oil and use Rotella 5w-40. Your engine will love you. Use stock filters.... FRAM/ International etc.

Even if it's not cold...

It is a synthetic oil that keeps things lubricated and reduces the likelyhood of stiction and any other oil related issues that occurr on the 6.0.
