The Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Truck is a powerful, yet reliable truck to pull goose neck flatbed trailers or anything heavy for that matter. The 6.7 L Cummins is a big draw. You can order the truck with some aesthetic touches that made it easy on the eye and set up good for long drives. You can easily pull loads up to 9000 lbs without even knowing it is back there, including through the mountains. Most owners are in LOVE with the truck and it draws gawkers everywhere.
The Diesel 2500 If you want luxury and comfort this might not be your truck, buy a Chevy LTZ. If you want reliability and performance this is it. Many Dodge owners have driven all types of trucks and feel that Ford is ok, Chevy is alright, Toyota is nice but Dodge is their favorite. So people will drive this truck for 200,000 miles to break it in and then go for another 400,000 before they start to even think about an engine problem. Towing is a breeze and the engine brake or “Jake Brake” is a huge plus. 6 speed auto tranny is great.
No to make sure you can go all those miles you need oil that can take a beating an AMSOIL is that oil.

Read on to find out why AMSOIL is the best Synthetic oil on the Market since 1972. And How a Diesel truck owner drove for over 409,000 miles.
After 409,000 miles without an oil change, the AMSOIL-protected Mack engine in this 1990 truck was wear-free as an engine in a comparable service treated to TWENTY TIMES the oil changes.
Colonial Heights, Virginia- “I didn’t see any surprises in there at all,” said owner/operator Haywood Gray of his 1990 Mack E7-400 engine.
Using AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil and the AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter, Gray ran the engine 409,000 miles without once changing the oil.
When the E7-400 engine was torn down by the local Mack dealership and its parts examined by an independent certified engine rater, it showed light to moderate wear throughout.
In fact, according to the engine rater, the parts could have been put right back into the engine. “I see no reason why the engine couldn’t run on,” he said. Oil analysis confirmed the rater’s findings: the sample of used AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil contained 1/6th the lead and 1/3rd the iron allowed by Mack condemnation limits… after 409,000 miles without an oil change. That’s protection - that’s AMSOIL!

Gray began using AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine 15W-40 Motor Oil (AME) in the E9-400 V-8 engine of his first truck, a 1984 Mack, after the engine accumulated 45,000 miles. For 280,000 miles, Gray changed his oil at 40,000- to 60,000-mile intervals though his oil analysis reports showed, without exception, that the oil was good for continued use. At 325,000 miles, Gray increased his oil drain interval to 100,000 miles.
The engine was torn down at 600,000 miles when Gray decided to sell the truck. The cylinder linings, bearings, pistons, rings and pump, all treated to extended oil drain intervals with AMSOIL, were found to be in excellent condition.

How Does AMSOIL measure to Mobile 1?
Read on to see how AMSOIL surpasses it!!
AMSOIL INC. set out to examine the specifics of the overly broad “Nothing Outperforms…” Mobil claim. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL) and Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil were analyzed in five key bench tests measuring motor oil performance: NOACK volatility, flash/fire point, pour point, four ball wear and total base number (TBN). As shown in the charts below, AMSOIL outperformed Mobil 1 in all five areas.

Four Ball Wear
The Four Ball Wear Test determines the wear protection properties of a lubricant by measuring the wear scars produced by four metal balls in sliding contact under the test parameters. The smaller the average wear scar, the better the wear protection provided by the lubricant. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil completed the Four Ball Wear Test producing a smaller wear scar than the Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil.
