Hi Mark, It really don't mattter what brand as long as it's rated CI, for diesel use and the viscosity for your climante. I personally think 15w40 is too heavy for most cooler climantes and 10w30 would work better as I'm thinking some are loosing some fuel mileage on 15w40.

Easy to get at any truckstop and most auto parts house anywhere in the USA for a reasonable cost, about $6.25gal. Rotella also has a good name in OTR diesels. However there's some that are finding a oil foam problems with the PSD engines using Rotella. Nothing is proven yet, so it may well be another problem or not a problem at all. T_Bone
