[QUOTE="flaboy?, post: 350358, member: 5749"] I agree with bigbull. Rotella for the diesel. There are others but this one is good and can be found almost everywhere. Basically any oil that meets CH-4 API rating will be good for a diesel. Will other oils work? Sure they will but we really don't know what if any effect on the internals they might have over a long period of time so why risk it. Use diesel oil in a diesel and gasoline oil in a gas motor. Oil weights could be discussed forever. Much depends on your climate. When all else fails go by the manufacturers recommendations. I use 10W-40 in both my diesels and gas motors but they are two different types of oils. I use straight 50W in my bikes. [/QUOTE]
