Truth, Its a much debated topic. Local testing has shown M1 0W40 to hold up the best.

Pros: holds up the best

Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 has a more stout additive package and has lower sulphated ash which means less intake valve buildup

So this morning I went n got some Rotella T6 5w40. filled her up and drove it pretty far. The light didnt come back on. I guess all I needed was an oil change? Sounds a lot quieter in idle too, no ticking besides the fuel injectors.

Pros: quieter idle, light off

I go back and forth between white jug rotella in the summer and t6 in the winter. It's cheap, and I've never had any issues.

Pros: cheap, no issues

Currently running mobil 1 MXT4 in my 2002 vstrom 1000. Holy fuck is it overpriced, but it's cheap insurance. Zero oil consumption despite cruising the highways at 140-150 Kph, @6000rpm.

Pros: zero oil consumption

Cons: overpriced
