[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 678, member: 33"] I switched to Mobil Delvac 5W40 synthetic oil and it seems to be working great. You probably don't need to go synthetic, but definately get an oil rated for diesel engines. The diesel oils have a better detergent additive package to combat to soots. Diesel approved oils will have a C_ rating, such as CI-4, CH-4, etc... I am running a Chevron Delo 400 10W30 in my truck which is a CI-4 rated oil. I think a 15W40 will be too thick in colder temps, go with a 10W30, 5W30 or a 5W40 oil for best lubrication in the cold weather. [/QUOTE]
