I use Mobil 1, although there are others as good. I don't look at good oil as an expense, I consider it insurance.
Currently, I'm using Mobil1 (0w-40 euro, 5w-40 TD truck) or Shell syn
Rotella 5w-40, looking for sales, and have extended the oil to 4500-5000
miles. I haven't used Amsoil yet as motor oil, though have in the
tranny, and differential.
I used to use Castrol 15w-40 Diesel oil for years, as that's what the
indy place used/ recommended, then I found Delo 15w-40 Diesel oil at
Costco for pretty cheap, and used that for awhile.
If you extend the oil mileage on the synthetic, the price evens out.
I need to start testing, so I can possibly extend the oil a bit more.
I have noticed that with synthetic, the car starts and runs better when
it's cold, and have the read that they deal with better with heat too.
The Tranny sure shifts better with Amsoil syn.
