I've been using Mobil 1 10W 30 in everything but my Sprinter for years.  Walmart seems to be the cheapest place in town for oil.

I use it off and on , I prefer the 10W 40 just because but thinner oils work better and most importantly get up out of the sump and circulating faster so they help prevent engine wear , 90 % of which occurs at initial startup , why over the road engines outlast city use engines.....

Pretty much _any_ modern , multi - viscosity DIESEL RATED oil is orders of magantude better than the Din based crap these engines were designed to run on....


Different brands but wallmart tends to have the best pricing on gallons of Diesel rated oil .

I personally don't like to shop @ wallmart unless it's an emergency or I'm traveling .
