does # 2 diesel cause any problems in 6.0
why would ford tell me i have to change oil with their oil or my warranty will be void but international truck dealer says they change 6.0 liter oil with rotella in buses and trucks

#2 is road diesel you find at most pumps so no that is fine to use. You can use rotella oil as long as it meets ford specs for your engine.

#1 is thinner then number two for cold weather. Usually I think winter blend is a 50/50 mix of #1 and #2. #1 doesn't lubricate as well as number 2 I hardly see #1 where Im at.

The pumps here arent marked so how do you know what you are getting?
