Wolf's head 30wt,, It'll never let you down...

Just kidding. You can pretty much any of the major brands, just change it frequently what ever you use.

the diesel additive package helps with engine load. spark (S) rated oils contain less ZDDP additives compared to performance/racing or compression( C) rated oils.

Nothing major. It's a good oil, hold's oil psi very well, and is cheap.

Note: they where the last hold out of street oils containing ZDDP, but, they had to succumb a few yrs ago. So, if you have a flat tappet cam, you'll need to go with 'offroad' oils that do contain it.

Back in the day -- when we had 9 planets-- my dad started using Rotella. NEVER had one oil related issue. I've used it in my diesel cars with no problems -- it is a very good oil
