All's good it meets the DD specs and easy to find too
Right now it's on sale for $13.99 per gallon at advance Auto parts. Pretty good price compared to regularly $19.99 per gallon. I'll order tonight and pickup in store tomorrow sometime when I'm up that way

Rotella T1 is what I'm using in my 6v92TA. I've found great prices ($14 or less) are common at tractor supply type stores.

Dad used Delvac 1140 in the 4104 and Chevy Adventureliner with the 3-53 till Mobil dropped it. He then switched to 1240. I use XD3-40 till the drum is empty. For a while after the merger you couldn't get 1240, only XD3.
