Synthetic Oil?
I made the switch to synthetic this change, Rot T syn, 5-40. I wish i did it a while back, the truck runs smoother and more quiet. I cant tell on egts yet but i would assume they will be bout the same.
One odd thing i noticed that i could use some experience on is, with the CCV mod, im completely used to regular oils smell, but it seems like synthetic smells different, AM I CRAZY???
ps Anybody running DELO LE?

I noticed the same things when switching to Rotella syn. Don't think it affects EGTs though.
Rotella in known to have a "smell" to it -- some guys I know don't run Rotella just because of that...

I noticed it too, even when switching between brands of synthetic. The Schaeffers that I run now has a very definite smell to it out of the CCV.

If you dont have the ccv mod, would this affect how the exhaust smells? Ive been running castrol for about 70k in mine, and i like the tail pipe smell lol, but ive been considering going to synthetic for obvious reasons. Just curious.
EDIT: The way it smells now is like what my dads 86 KW with a 3406B in it. I think he ran castrol then too, so maybe thats why?
