What year, and when you say "best", do you mean at any price, or "best oil" under $10/gallon?

The DELO oil (from chevron, I think) is good. My preferred choice is the Rotella-T made by shell. This is used in alot of the big semis.

Delvac 1 (Mobil 1 for Diesels) is VERY good oil.

15w40 rotella T is best all around. Can be bought anywhere in the USA and provides great protection.
