Oil?
It time for my first oil change in my 2017 powerstroke. Just curious what type of cj-4 oil you all are using or plan to use.
I wanted to use Rotella t6 5w-40, but it's getting hard to find Cj-4 and CK isn't recommended in the new powerstroke.

I didn't think Valvoline Blue was stil a Cj-4 spec. If so that is probably what I will be running. Hard to beat that price. I just hate to get started with a certain oil and have to switch in a couple oil changes because it isn't recommended for my truck and can't get it in Cj-4 anymore.
The 5w-40 motorcraft oil is way overpriced. Anyone know what type of oil motorcraft is?

Is Mobil Delvac 1 ESP good oil? I found some at my local Meijer that still has CJ-4 on it. I thought about just using the Motorcraft oil since Ford is being so picky, but I am planning to switch to 5W-40 and I can't find that weight in Motorcraft oil locally and it costs quite a bit to order it online.
I bought the Delvac 1 ESP because it was $23/gal with a $12 mail in rebate per gallon.

I didn't know about that list. The most common oil that you are allowed to use on that list in 5w-40 is Valvoline extreme blue.
I also don't understand why you would be allowed to use Rotella t3 and t5 15w-40 and not t6 5w-40. Doesn't make sense.
