    What brand oil you using?

    Cummins only likes 2 brands. And they purr like a kitten. Anything else makes em sound like a tank.

    1 that I drove had a label on the frame to only use Mobil delvac. I think it's called. Delo 400 was just as good.

    Hello Snowy, not sure yet what oil they've been using but I always use Delo 400 but will stick with what they've been using. I remember reading a post from Rawze that said an engine doesn't like it when you change brands.

    Delo 15w40

    It has never purred. It burns maybe .5-1.0 gallon in 15-18000 mile intervals. Oil stays clean first 8000 or so miles. Never asked for a forced regen. It makes smooth power, by feel I mean, but the sound it makes when it does it is different than anything else. It's consistent. So I don't know.
