Your shop needs to re-think that recommendation.

What part? The weight, filter or oil type? Rotella synth is what my shop recommends as well, and I've used it for years on other cars.

The 15w40 is a bit out there. I was recommended a 5w40 as opposed to the stock weight.

I've never been a fan of fram filters.

Amen brotha. The Frame oil filter is what came with the oil cooler, so it's being used now. I'll probably switch to something better like K&N as my oil filter.
