OP: Why not continue use of the Rotella syn you're already using or step up to the M1 Turbodiesel Truck easily found at Wall'smart for $23/gallon

Who's OP

You got me there UB. I did pick up some M1 10W40 from WM cuz it was on sale for $19 for the 5qt container. The API guidelines do say CF is ok for diesels:

"Introduced in 1994. For off-road, indirect-injected and other diesel engines including those using fuel with over 0.5% weight sulfur. Can be used in place of CD oils."
