Why would you do that?
No. Use an oil with the appropriate API license or specification for your vehicle in a grade that the manufacturer recommends.

If it were mine:
1st choice - would use HPL Premium Plus PCMO 0w-20D.
2nd - Amsoil https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-0w-20-100-synthetic-diesel-oil-dp0/?code=DP020QT-EA
3rd - I would do the Mobil 1 0w-20 Dexos D.

Amsoil has 2 oils that meet DexosD one in 0W-20 and another in 5W-30. 0W-20 is spec but I would guess you could go with 5W-30 if you really wanted to.
Myself, I went with the HPL 0W-20D when they had the last sale
But Yes stick with oils that are designed for Diesels, they have very different requirements than a gas engine.

While under warranty Dexos D oil, after warranty is up I’d personally move to a Xw30 diesel rated oil that meets your climate.
It’s unqualified comments like this that you need to look out for. Be sure to use the oil that meets the specifications of the manufacturer. That being said AMSOIL advises what products works for your application and that’s what you should use. I have several customers that use AMSOIL in these trucks and they’re pleased. Just wish AMSOIL had an oil filter….
If you have to use amsoil I would use their diesel multi grade 30wt oil. Not that 0w-20 junk.
If it were my truck I would use the HD diesel 10w30. I never used the Dexos 2 in my 2.8 canyon.
If you are scared about warranty use the Mobil 1 esp 5w30 or 0w40.

opps ,i meant Amsoil diesel engine oil in the 5w-30 viscosity,,product code,DP530QT-EA,would work fine,just a notch higher viscosity, or they also have the 0w-20 Diesel engine oil too. if warranty is a concern and may well be the best overall for fuel milage improvement and oil pressure considerations.

I used Amsoil's 0W-20 Diesel oil for a little while. My latest oil change was with HPL's PP 0W-20D. Going to do a UOA on it when I hit 5k miles on the oil.
I have a UOA of Amsoil's Diesel oil in the UOA section.

One of diesel oil’s functions is to suspend soot. Do not use a non diesel oil.
I think you only had 1100 miles on the Amsoil UOA and the engine was still breaking in? Be difficult to compare HPL to Amsoil unless you do a similar test with Amsoil afterwards….
I'm planning on it. I'm going to run the HPL 0W-20D one more time after this to get that full flush of any residual Amsoil left in there now and get another UOA. Then I'll switch back to the Amsoil. It's cheaper and easier to get than the HPL.
