It's Amsoil Series 3000 Synthetic 5W30 Heavy Duty Diesel oil. If you look at the tech specs here you'll find it's pretty impressive stuff:
AMSOIL - Series 3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy-Duty Diesel Oil (HDD)

It's specifically designed for diesels. I don't know of anyone specifically that's run this stuff in a 6.7L Cummins like mine, however, I had heard great reviews from guys who had used it for years in the 5.9L Cummins. The 5.9L was bore and stroked in 2007 to create the 6.7L engine, and I believe the lube system stayed basically the same, so I didn't see any reason why I couldn't use it in my 6.7L.
