I use the same oil in everything, Shell Rotella T6 5-40 and have for years. Same with gear oil, Shell GL5 85-140. Don't matter, diesel powered or gas powered. Only exception is hydraulic fluid and then it's Chevron All Weather THC synthetic and I don't buy into the additive hype either. Only thing I add to my oil (not gear oil) is Archoil Nano Borate additive. It's not cheap but the insides of my engines are always free from sludge and clean. Modern oil's tend to 'plate' the interior of engines with a tan colored deposit. I don't have any of that in my engines and I own a few, both diesel and gas.Unfortunately for oil, every vehicle seems to want a different type of oil. Even several grades of gear oil.
