VALVOLINE PREMIUM BLUE EXTREME meets all requirements for fca MS-10902 & CUMMINS CES 20086, I'll probably start switching over after my next oil change. It' about $66 on amazon.

I switched to that two weeks ago. According to the spec sheet it has more zinc, better HTHS, higher TBN, and higher viscosity at 100°C than T6.
 
I used to work on some BIG diesels that contained silver bearings, we couldn't have any zinc in the oil as it would plate itself onto the silver and screw things up.......BADLY.
 
I had picked up some 5w40 valvoline premium blue extreme at TSC (as it was on clearance!) then I took it as well as T6 Rotella to a garage to get oil changed, as I have warranty then they couldn't find a spec on the Valvoline that matched the FCA requirements so they used the T6 anyway

The Valvoline PBX matches every spec listed in the diesel supplement. It’s right on the bottle.

That may well be, but there was nothing about ms-10902 on the bottles I got. But the T6 didn't either but FCA has it "listed" so it seems its the go to oil
 
I'll bet the VALVOLINE was NOT the PREMIUM BLUE EXTREME, but rather the predecessor "PREMIUM BLUE".

I'm guessing it's pretty old stock, but I figure oil in a sealed container should keep for a long time!

The clearance sale was 30% off red tag items😁
 
Age shouldn't matter on oil. I think the oil was Valvoline Premium Blue and NOT Premium Blue Extreme. Similar enough that it could cause confusion if you're not paying close attention, at least with the different Rotella oils the jugs are a different color.
