Pick any of the major oil company full synthetic heavy duty oils. Pick correct viscosity for the ambient temperature your driving in. Shell, Exxon , Mobil, Chevron.. My opinion Mobil 1 oils along with Mobil 1 filters are the best. But I am also retired from Exxonmobil..

I agree with all that except the Mobil1.
But I retired from Shell. LOL
