What will happen if you use a non-rated oil like the rp 10w30 in a diesel?
Generally a diesel engine oil is more robust than an oil made for gasoline engines. There is the possibility of accelerated engine wear, inability to handle the soot, excessive foaming, or other problems.

Additionally, the thickness might be an issue. Even the older RP 10w30 SL stuff was still an ILSAC type 10w30, just with the GF-3 specification. That's on the thinner side of a 30, whereas a 30 grade HDEO is on the thicker side of things, with an HTHS of 3.5 or higher. RP does have HDEOs, and their 10w-40, 5w-40, and 0w-40 grades at least at one point displayed some older API diesel specifications.

Look at the Schaeffer 7000 synthetic blend 10w30 *diesel* oil.
You get a high VI, meet CJ-4 specs, and get their kick-[censored] additive package.
The 10w30 with a high VI and narrower multi-vis range is good on these EGR diesels to provide reliable injector function.
A 10w is fine for most winter use and you get a very pourable oil - put a quart of it in the freezer overnight and watch it pour the next morning.

Here's a stout oil that should stand up to the aggressive shearing of the Ford 6.0 PS:

It's a bit pricey, though.
Or Rotella T5 10w30 would be almost as good at a lower price.

I suggest Motorcraft 10w30 diesel oil.
If your local walmart is like mine they've started carrying the motorcraft 10w30 diesel oil in 5 quarts jusgs around 17 bucks for 5 quarts, not at all bad for a quality diesel oil

I would believe CJ-4 RP 10W30 oil is coming eventually.
They should move straight to a 0w30 HDEO (or even a 5w30 HDEO), since such products are very hard to find in the States.
