Injectors on that thing are around $250 each for remanufactured units, so good oil is a small price to pay for that extra piece of mind. I use Rotella T-6, but I'm positive Amsoil has an excellent product for this purpose. Also, check out a product called Archoil AR-9100, it's supposed to help with the stiction issues these trucks have.
If you're talking about the brand new Powerstroke, injector design has changed and I'm fairly certain it's now a common rail system

How often do you change the oil with the Rotella? That's a popular oil here in IA also.
