Well, before I leave to return to my own pitiful country, I'll leave you with this advice. Most all oil designed for diesel engines has been reformulated, the zinc and several other components have been removed or reduced to levels that won't lube your motor properly, Cummings won't warranty any new motors unless you you use a Cummings approved oil. I use Amsoil syn. from what I've been able to learn syn. oil is your best bet.
 
TDR (turbo diesel register) did some tests on oils. Very interesting. But unfortunately the good stuff is no longer available. I just run whatever I can get. Will be Delo 400 this time because my brother who is a forklift mechanic managed to get me three gallons for free. I figure better to change it frequently with anything rather than to try and run to long with the best oil.
