Nothing wrong with running a Wix on a C, it's just my preference to use OEM. Lots of c's run Wix and never heard of an issue. My local Cummins dealer gives me decent prices, too.

What interval do you change your oil on the 300? I run my 450 at about 200-250hp at cruise and an oil sample at 200hrs still looks good. I normally go 300hrs.
