And why would 5W40 be "recommended" but 15W40 cause engine damage.
But jsu tme talking....
thats a easy one, increased oil flow on start up when the oil is cold. tighter tolerences mean less free oil pooling in the berring as the engine drains down overnight, also makes it harder for the oil to flow through when thick. so basicly 5W40 will flow down to 5 degrees and 15W will flow down to 15 degrees, so even at 15 degrees the 5w will flow better providing a faster film on the berrings resulting in less startup dammage.

U could run a Cummins on some goose grease and French fry oil and the only downside is getting hungry when youโre pulling grades and it smells like a fried turkey!

Love a Ford truck with Cummins...but in a Dodge with their trans...is just a different pile of problems

Run the wrong oil in a 19+ and you may have a cummapart. :E

โข 2019 model year, and newer vehicles, it is recommended to use 10W-30 engine oil such as Mopar, Shell Rotella and Shell Rimula that meets FCA Material Standard MS-10902, and the API CK-4 engine oil category is required. Products meeting Cummins CES 20081 may also be used. NOTE: Always refer to service information and/or ownerโs manual for exact engine oil recommendations. CAUTION! 15W-40 grade oil CAN NOT be used in any 2019 model year or newer 6.7L equipped vehicles due to the new designed valve train of this engine. If this oil is used, it will cause deposits to form in the Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters leading to undesirable noise, and/or engine damage.
May want to pass on the Goose greese going forwards that may cause deposits in the valve lash adjusters. :W
So it has hydraulic lifters...big deal. Don't have experience with these newer engines, but some notice that was published 2 years ago hasn't made it into the owners manuals?
Diesel Supplement recommends 10-30 or 5-40 SYN. CK4 or Cummins CES20081 spec.
And says nothing with respect to NOT using the age old standard 15W40.
Synthetic is not even required or reccomended except for extreme low ambient temps, in fact it says change syn the same as dino oil.
And virtually every CK4 compatible oil is also CES 20081 as well.
It would take alot more ton convince me that 15W40 is in anyway harmful to those engines or has the propensity to stick or collapse a lifter.
(Like our old SRT that "required" 0W40 synthetic. And the new one for that fact. Old one had 150k on it when we sold it to the next owner and still ran perfectly, didn't use excessive oil, felt like it had all it's horseys still....after a steady diet of 100k miles of Delo and Valvoline blue 15-40 or whatever else was on super sale)
That said, even the latest Cummins still way less finicky on oil weight/quality/service life than any Flowerjoke since the early HEUI injection pumps through present day.
Put some 15W40 in a 19+ cummins and see how it sounds!

New turbo is part of the oil system...bearings metal shavings could have damaged.
That's all good except there is no reason to replace the turbo when you have a nice big oil filter that filters all of the oil that enters the bearings or turbo.
Now if they wanted to replace the oil pump; that's a different story...
I guess it would depend on the path the oil takes with regards to the turbo, bearings and filter. I am less annoyed with the turbo replacement since it's difficult to remove on the 6.7 and a preemptive approach is not a bad thing. My bigger issue is the doubling of the engine price. As far as repairing the engine; the same replace over repair sentiment was also offered by two local private shops. Not enough meat for over bore and over-sized pistons. The engine isn't exactly a real heavy duty diesel. The other issue is getting Ford to do a root cause analysis. There hasn't been a determination to this point on why the bearing cooked...nor has the engine been torn down...of course this is because they already know why...
I'd love to buy an engine and install, but at this point considering the cab is lifted off the truck and engine is already removed, I may be stuck with Ford in perpetual limbo. This is not a great way to keep a loyal customer.
Ya, all engine oil is filtered before it sees any engine parts except the oil pump.
In any event it would be a good idea for you to listen to this video about the 6.7 Ford diesel.
This guy really knows his stuff and sees a ton of these engines and will talk about the various failure points. It's really good to see all of the failure points of this engine that he talks about.
If you just want to see to part where he talks about "seeing a ton of bearing failure" just go to 42:42 and see what he has to say. I would watch the whole video if I were you though because this guy is very informative.
Anyway, good luck and I hope you get past this so you can take your RV out for a little time off.

I appreciate you defending your truck...or math; but flagship engines shouldn't have a major failure issue like this.
Even Ford's CEO agrees with you Cradz350.
It's only going to get worse...
"we monitor social media for problems....." :B :B :B Well I guess that's one way to do business.....:R:R:R
