Probably diesel trucks, because that is what the manufacturer recommends....

I do. Shell Rotella T 10w30 in two civics, one accord, two Tahoes, one Yanmar diesel mower, Shell Rotella T 15w40 in one ford diesel backhoe, one case dozer and one kobelco track hoe. I also like Fleet Charge antifreeze, its used in all the above. Search on my user name, I've posted on both before.

I like the old ci rated Rotella T, it has more zinc antiwear additive. The jury is out on the cj, triple protection Rotella T, the new stuff with lower zinc. Time will tell. Great dino oil.

I'm just finishing up my first drain interval with amsoil series 3000 5w-30 HDD. Its in a 6000 mile old mild b16a which, like all bvtec's, burned a little oil when used in vtec for extended periods w/ regular dino oil. For the first 4000 miles with the HDD (including 2 trackdays and 2 autox) oil cunsumption completely disappeared. In the last 1k miles the oil finally turned a slightly darker shade and has burned up a very small amount. I will be refilling with this stuff again for sure.
