[Marvin Bottera]

Hello All... I'm new to this site. What is the best Eco Diesel Oil and Filter to use in the 3.0 Eco-Diesel and where do y'all order them?

I'm using SHELL ROTELLA T6 5W40, you need to make sure that whatever you decide to use that it meets the specs set by FCA. My lats case was ordered from Amazon, I don't know if I got a good deal because it was $55.00, a day or 2 later it was about $108.00. I can get it at Tractor Supply for about $21.00.

I pay $55 as well. Great deal, as far as I’m concerned. Being the manufacturer recommendation, T6 Rotella is the only real choice, especially if you’re under warranty.

I got my last order of Rotella T6 from Walmart.com it was the least expensive.
UPS driver wasn't real happy that day I had ordered 4, 2 1/2 gallon jugs and 3 one gallon jugs.
I use it in my tractors as well as the eco diesel.
You really have to watch the numbers there it was cheaper to order 3 single 1 gallon jugs then a case of 3 by several dollars.

Haha, my UPS driver asked if that would be a regular purchase! You’ve got a point, as the Walmart by me was selling T6 for $15.00 a gallon about a month ago. I snatched up 6 gallons.

My Walmart doesn't stock the T6, as a word of caution, T6 is also available in 15w40, don't use it, the owners manual is very clear what weight oil to use , keep it on the 5w40 and protect your warranty, I'm also sticking with MOPAR filters.

I don't know what year your truck is but the owners manual also specifically states T6 as acceptable, I think there are others too, but I'm gonna stick with what THEY say to use, technically any oil that meets the requirements specified by MOPAR should be OK. Just keep proof,also keeping receipts and box ends from the filters, I've been checking filters and trying to find their micron specs, many don't publish it. I also will not use a FRAM filter on anything. I'm a retired mechanic with many years of diesel experience, just not on the ECO, I have researched oil filters extensively, IMO, FRAM'S construction leaves a LOT to be desired.
