AMSOIL options for the 6.7L Cummins
The 6.7L Cummins is used in Ram heavy-duty pickups that often tow, haul and idle for long periods. Start by matching the engine oil to the exact model year and required specification, then consider filtration, fuel-system maintenance, transmission fluid and differential gear oil as part of the complete tow-vehicle maintenance plan.
5W-40 and 15W-40 are common diesel choices
AMSOIL currently offers Signature Series Max-Duty synthetic diesel oil in both 5W-40 and 15W-40. The 5W-40 grade has better low-temperature flow at startup, while both grades behave as SAE 40 oils at operating temperature. Always verify the specification required for your particular truck before ordering.
Think beyond engine oil
A hard-working Cummins tow vehicle also depends on clean fuel, effective filtration and properly serviced driveline fluids. Our related pages cover bypass filtration, diesel fuel-filter maintenance, transmission fluid and differential gear oil.
Build a service plan for a Cummins tow vehicle
Steven’s family travels full time with a 2013 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins. The installation and fuel-filter videos linked here provide maintenance examples. The checklist below is planning guidance, not a claim that every listed product fits every model year.
| Service | Confirm before ordering | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and full-flow filter | Model-year viscosity, required performance specification, capacity and filter application. | Compare diesel oil grades |
| Fuel filters | Correct filter configuration, part numbers and the truck’s replacement schedule. | Fuel-filter guide and video |
| Optional bypass system | Current kit fitment, oil-supply access, mounting room and replacement-element cost. | Check BMK34 installation planning |
| Transmission and transfer case | Identify each component and its own fluid specification; engine type alone is not enough. | Transmission-fluid selection |
| Differentials | Axle identification, gear-oil specification and any limited-slip requirements. | Gear-oil selection |
Keep a useful service record
Record the date, mileage, component, product, quantity and filter part number for each job. Note towing, extended idling and other conditions addressed by the manufacturer’s severe-service schedule. Inspect for leaks after service and use the applicable manual for procedures and intervals.

Frequently asked questions
What AMSOIL oil should I use in a 6.7L Cummins?
Use the viscosity and performance specification required for your model year and operating conditions. AMSOIL offers diesel oils in several viscosities; confirm the exact match with the AMSOIL vehicle lookup and your owner’s manual.
Is 5W-40 or 15W-40 better for a 6.7 Cummins?
Both are SAE 40 oils at operating temperature, but 5W-40 flows more readily at cold start. The correct choice depends on model-year requirements, climate and service conditions.
Can towing change diesel oil needs?
Towing increases heat and load, so correct oil specification, filtration and maintenance intervals become especially important. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule and use an oil that meets the required specification.
