Oh boy, an oil thread! Assuming you are referring to the CRD KJ, I use a Purolator PureOne oil filter and Mobil1 Turbodiesel Truck 5W-40 full synthetic. For the fuel filter I use a Wix/ Napa Gold, and for the trans I use Napa filters with Valvoline ATF +4 full synthetic. (same fluid in transfer case and power steering, too) I also add some Powerservice silver or another fuel lubricant to every tank if I can't get a biodiesel blend. I am at 88,000 miles now, bought it used in September 2008 with 24,000 miles on it. See my signature for my modifications. |

...and since you're a registered user, the search function works wonders. You will find about 100 topics nearly identical to this one. They all have pretty much the same info. |

I'll save you the hassle. Shell Rotella T6 ($19.50 for a gallon at Walmart) and Purolator Pure One filter ($9 at Advance Auto Parts) is all you'll ever need. Forget that ridiculously expensive Mobil1 that the owners manual specifies. |

Awww - but I like the MObil 1. Ive been using it for 92k and changing every 9-10 K. I've not had problems. |
