Was wondering what type and number oil everyone is using. Dealer recommended 5w 40w synthetic, but in manual it is saying 5w 30w. Dazed and confused. I always do my own oil changes and repairs. But this is my first diesel truck so it is all new to me. I am towing a travel trailer with it mostly and live in the mountains of Vermont. 2016 eco diesel

FCA changed the Oil Specs already a few Years ago to Shell Rotella T6 5W- 40. I also have 2016 Eco Diesel and I switched right after the change. Used the Rest of my Pennzoil in my Wife's Van. If you pull up the Diesel Supplement for 2016, you will find the change in there.
