[QUOTE="jrgoffin, post: 15512026, member: 4360"] I went with the Shell Rotella for break-in since it has a higher level of the anti-wear additives Zinc and Phosphorus (common in diesel oil). At a minimum, a 30-weight oil is ideal for these engines, and was the norm when the modular engines came out, but a 40-weight is perfectly acceptable as well. Even with the 3V HP/HV pump, oil pressure is perfect. Being a long-time user of Mobil1 oil, I decided on the European 0W-40 since it is one of their better products. By the way, the switch to 20-weght oil was a benefit to CAFE standards, but it works. Some reading on that subject here: [URL]http://www.terminator-cobra.com/engine.htm#Oil_filter[/URL] [/QUOTE]
