Interesting reading. I have an ISM cummins in my tractor. Learned some tricks that I'll try tomorrow. I was surprised to read that there was virtually no difference between dino/syn oils for fuel mileage. Offhand, I don't know what the optimal rpm's are for cruising speeds on a 6.0.

 

Yep, interesting read. It's all common sense stuff but it is nice to put some numbers to the ideas.
