I wouldn't be concerned with either Shell or Mobil oils, or for that matter Chevron Delo 400 oil. They are all top quality oils and will work well in your engine.
Delo 400
Negligible difference my man. Pick the one with the prettiest bottle.

Delo is great.....and cheap. Delo, for a name brand, but the SuperTech 15w40 is a real solid performer also.
I have used rotella and delvac. I am currently looking for delo400 in a 10w30 flavor. I have used syn ams and tdt and main difference is pocket book and maybe extreme ocis. But with mobil and chevron you can run way past factory ocis and still be dumpin oil with life left in it.
Delo has my vote.

Welcome to the site, from a fellow Dmax owner!
The bad news:
First, allow me to point out that "best" is very difficult to predict without HUGE amounts of trials unique to your specific application. Please read my article on UOA "normalcy" found on the home page.
The good news:
The Dmax is about as easy on oil as any light-duty diesel ever made. Further, it generally has zero care for what you put in it, as long as it's a properly spec'd fluid. Any CH-4 or higher lube will do quite well in your 2001, and brand/grade really matters not as long as you use a qualified HDEO.
Not knowing anything more than what you asked, I'm going to presume you stick to OEM OCIs? In that manner, buy the least expensive HDEO you can find; the engine will not care in the least, but you wallet will thank you tremendously over the years. Find HDEO on sale with rebates and you can get some really good deals.
