How important is it to change the oil after installing new injectors? All cylinders were cleared of fluid. Reason I am wondering is the truck just had a full oil change less than 100 km ago with Rotella T5 10w30 (don't drive the truck much). Therefore, is the small amount of fuel remaining in the piston dish make it necessary to change the oil?

Back in my high HP set up it was only Schaeffer's 9000 5w/40. After I put it back to stock it got rural king 15w/40

It's not worth the coolant and fuel that could get in the oil to not change it.

1540 rotella is what i've always ran in ours. Had a few customers pick up some amsoil 15-40 synthetic and they seem to like it really well.

Rotella was fine in my pickup, for about 1500 miles. There was noticeably more injectors noise as mileage went up.
Jake there's a Schaeffer dealer in your neck of the woods, he handles our oil at the farm.
