It all boils down to how risk adverse someone is. Path of least resistance is to use a properly labeled spec'd oil and in the correct grade.

Recommendation and use of non-spec'd and out of grade oil and telling people there will be no problem if a warranty issue arises is fool hardy and most will not be standing next to them offering up their own money for that advice.

That being said, I follow my own preferences that differ from the OM call outs but I understand that risk and accept it.

I just ordered 5 gallons of Rotella T6 for my 2015 EcoDiesel. I'm about to look for Pennzoil Platinum for my 2020 EcoDiesel.

It's a different oil spec. I imagine it has a lot to do with emissions, but it also might handle the higher internal temps better.

Best of luck to you!
I bought 18 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum from Amazon last week. It came out to be $129.84 for 4.5 gallons, or $28.85 per gallon, or $7.21 per quart.
