You can most likely use the 15w-40.

As far as finding 10w-30 Diesel oil...There is a Chevron Delo 400 version and a Shell Rotella-T version, as well as other brands. If you can't find it on a store shelf, the respective local distributor can usually get it for you.

9000 is an excellent choice, it's thinner then almost every w40 out there at operating temp.

I have seen 10w30 diesel at Wal-Mart, Napa, CarQuest, etc. Anyways the Schaeffer's should work just fine in the RTV. They are essentially bullet-proof...

My local Wal-Mart carries Rotella 10w-30. The Menards Home Improvement stores carry it as well.

This is a great 10W-30 HDEO:

Amsoil 10W-30 ACD

Royal Purple Long Rider 10W30 is CI-4 rated

I would rather run Delo 10W30 myself. I have had great results with it- but Cummins recommends 15W40 so that is what I use.

Shouldn't be real hard to find-the Ford 6.0 diesel requires it for temps below 32* F.-I am going to run that Shaeffer's 9000 in my Mercedes if I can get a good deal on it, the Mobil Delvac 1/TDT 5W40 is getting too expensive at $6.50/qt.!!!
