All I use is Shell Rottella. Once the diesel is broke in I'll switch to the synthetic version which I believe is called "T6".
Unfortunately most motor homes sit too long and all the oil film is drained from the bearings. This causes a dry start until the oil pump starts pumping oil. With synthetic oil, the film stays much longer and protects the surfaces better.
I save enough money changing my own oil to justify the added expense of the synthetic oil.
