You need a diesel forumulated oil that has the CF4/CG4 ratings.

Mobil 1 has changed all their labels recently. I think that the "Truck and TurboDiesel" version has those ratings but check the label.

$50 is not so bad if is for syn oil (8qts @$5-6ea for oil + a $10 filter is your cost) and the mess is on his dirveway, not yours. Of course many of us enjoy changing our own oil regrdless of cost/convienience.
