API grade CB CC

Does anyone know what the new grade is that replaces CB and CC? My tractor manual calls for those grades but, I know the specs have changed since the manual was printed. This is for a diesel engine.

I have been using Rotella but, I have been thinking of going synthetic next time I change the oil. I have read a lot of discussions about oil here and just want to make sure that I use what is best for the little guy. It seems that Rotella may not be all that good. If I read that chart correctly then I just need to make sure that the oil meets CF grade? It only uses a gallon of oil so cost is not that big of a deal.

I figured you would have the answer to that.

Thanks
