k1xv Joined Apr 29, 2003 Messages 2,662 Location Southern Vermont May 23, 2006 #4 My standard "default" oil is now Shell Rotella Syn in 5w-40. I was using Mobil 1 T&SUV 5w-40 when it was available. I have enough for about 3 Duramax oil changes on hand. When I run 15w-40, it is usually Mobil Delvac 1300 In addition to the Duramax, I have an old Infiniti Q45 and really old Mercedes turbodiesel. Also a 74 BMW air cooled twin motorcycle.

Some of the answers are sure expensive dino oils then... Pennzoil Castrol Chevron Would be my picks. But agree that with the SL/SM, most oils are excellent protection and keep the engines as clean as anything else out there. Take care, bill
