Up until recently my dealer was using Delo 400 15W40 LE oil. We have now changed suppliers and are now using a Mobil Delvac 15W40 LE of some type. Regardless, neither one is synthetic.
1998 Chevy k-2500 454 147,000 miles and climbing!
1993 Pontiac G/A Big Block 3.3 Liter 140,000 miles and still going too!
The standard recommendation is 15w-40, CI-4 oil (the API rating is as important as the grade). You can use 5w-40, or 0w-30 in extreme cold climates. Synthetic or dino.
You should have received the Diesel supplement with your owner's manual. If not, you can get one from your dealer, Helms, or online.
