I have allways liked Valvoline oil I got on sale at Advanced auto parts.
The engine is vert quiet now.

Valvoline Premium Blue...

I noticed in AutoZone the other day that Cummins endorses it and recommends it for their engines.

That's a strong statement about something. I don't know too many people driving diesels and into technology/mechanical things who don't have a high regard for Cummin's diesel engines.

I wonder what that stuff is like.
