    What is the better synthetic diesel oil?

    Running 10k oci on our 03 5.9L hpcr, and in California we recently switched our fuels everywhere to a biodiesel blend now, so that affects our fuel filters but not sure on the oil life. 15w40 is what I'd prefer and seeing some threads on the new SN rating should that be a worry?
