Not according to bobistheoilguy.com

For 2013 Cummins is saying that 5W30 is ok in heavy duty truck engines. I think they are coming factory filled with 10W40 instead of the usual 15W40. However, talk to anyone at a Cummins dealer and they will tell you that 5W30 is wonderful until you find your engine worn out in 2/3 the time as normal.
