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.
