I'm debating using something besides 15W/40 in my Cummins. Does anybody here have any experience? I know I need to find something rated to handle the soot and my motor has 273K on it. Would that make it potentially worse or better to use a thinner oil? Some people use a 5w/40 synthetic but that seems like a big spread in viscosity to me.
