I use mobile1 whichever is on sale at Costco. Usually 10w30 and add stp oil treatment. It adds in a good bit of the zinc and other good stuff for $3 it's worth it.

The Rotella will work fine. We along with many of our customers have used it in builds with no negative results.

I think I'm going to run VR1 10-30. I'm in Missouri, and the truck sits outside, so it will be exposed to some negative degree temperatures.
