Is the Mobil 1 0w-40 diesel rated? It has an SM/CF rating. At $6.29/qt it's too expensive for summertime, but it would make sense for winter (when my car is not really driven anyway).

at the risk of starting a flame war, I'll say that if you're not going to drive it during the winter at all, that I'd use the cheapest oil I can.

Reason being is that you're going to start it a few times only. I'd want the contaiminents out for the long sit, then run the good stuff when you're driving it.

As I recall, the 0w oils are too thin for the pressures encountered in a diesel.
