First oil change.

Just bought an 05 6.0l going to do first oil change this weekend. Was wondering if any of you guys use Rotella. And what are your thoughts on it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A lot of us use Rotella T-6 5W-40 year round. Just make sure you use an OEM filter with the OEM oil filter cap.
