Switching oil concerns
I have a 2003 6.0 and have been running 5w40 synthetic. Put new injectors in last October and the manufacturer is telling me NOT to use Rotella T6.
Question is.....If I switch to a 15w40 conventional pr synthetic blend, will there be any possible issues??

I don't see why they wouldn't want you to use Rotella T6. That's all I ever ran in my first 6.0, and I NEVER had injector issues (well, not with the injectors themselves - ICP/IPR is common though). My 2nd 6.0, I was coerced into running 15W40 and ended up getting stiction, so I added Archoil AR9100 and it helped, I never did switch over to T6 before I had 2 injectors crap the bed on me.
The only reason I can see them telling you NOT to use T6 (which is what most guys use, last I knew) is because they want to sell you more injectors.
