Delo 400 is pretty good stuff for dino oil. I used to run the Mobil 1 full syn, but it got tp expensive, motor seems quieter with the thicker dino stuff anyway. Most people run what they can get easily.

I personally use Chevron Delo 15W40 oil in mine. You will need a low ash product for your 07 emission truck so i would get a quality oil (Chevron, Mobil, Shell, etc.) Just my opinion

As long as it's a CJ not a CI-4 + rated oil.

I used Amsoil last time but to be honest it's inconvenient to buy and pricey. Next change I'll shop at Wally world for a synthetic(rotella maybe).

I run Delo also. Saw that Castrol has a diesel oil now sitting on the walmart shelf.

Castrol gas engine oil is good stuff , wonder how their diesel oil compares
