I use Mack Bulldog Premium Plus 10w30. It is around $15 a gallon, I get it from my work, and it is diesel rated. The best place to search for a deal on oil would be truck shops and parts stores, they usually have something on promotion.

This is taken from a document I found while searching for some info on this oil.

Mack® Bulldog®

• Having the optimum viscosity at each operating condition will minimize overall engine friction and reduce fuel consumption. Two things are important: viscosity itself as well as viscosity retention

•Viscosity
–A multigrade lubricant with a lower viscosity grade could provide improved savings
– For example, using a Bulldog EO-O Premium Plus 10W-30 compared to Bulldog EO-O Premium Plus 15W-40 would provide a better chance of capturing the potential fuel savings

•Viscosity Retention

– Viscosity can increase over time because of lubricant break-down and contamination. Soot particles, contaminants, and by-products of oil break-down can lead to oil thickening, leading to reduced fuel economy and compromise wear protection
• Mack 10W-30 products provide outstanding protection against lubricant break-down and contamination that promotes the potential for improved fuel savings from the outstanding viscosity retention side as well as from its lower viscosity grade

It doesn't matter if you know what you're doing, as long as you look like you know what you're doing.
