I agree with the comments on the quality of oil made today is far better than oil even 20 years ago the 10-40W Rotella T is an outstanding product and can be found most places, '86 Ford 1-ton with the 6.9 has over 230,000 and still going strong on Rotella T, one of the big things with diesel oil is the ability to withstand "Fuel Oil Dilution" which is the fuel washing the oilfilm off the walls of the cyl and past the rings into the sump. And the resistance to Sulfuric Acid, which is created from the exahust byproducts and moisture. These additives are used up faster when doing short trips that do not allow the engine to heatup fully. So change your oils more often when doing short trips. TimK..
