Was wondering what everybody’s using for engine oil in their 2.8 turbo. I see it call for DEXOS 2. But doing some research they say in 25 it’s going to DEXOS D. I’m wondered if there’s any other brands that have this additive package? Thank you.

even so. i change mine every 4,000 miles. the soot can be abrasive so i like an early oil change. at only 6 quarts its not that expensive.
What brand engine oil do you use?
AMSOIL 5W-30 DIESEL. its not dexos2 approved but meets the same specs regarding ash content. would consider changing to a 5w-40 thou.

actually Redline oil has shown to produce less build up on the engine. If the oil dioesnt evaporate as much then it doesnt get sucked into the intake either
i don't have much experience with redline. but looks like a quality oil. as always the most important step is to change oil sooner than the manufacturers recommendations as they are being pressured by the cafe standards to get the least amount of oil used per lifetime of vehicle.

Following the OLM is 100% fine with our trucks, I've done UOA repeatedly and go about 7,500 miles between oil changes. I'm also using 5w40 CK-4 diesel oil (Rotella T6), the wear rates are always very low. Changing your oil too often can actually increase wear due to the way the detergents work. The OLM is quite conservative, I change once I get between 5-10% life left. 125k miles and runs like a champ.
