Be sure to use a oil for Diesel Engines - its designed to fight the soot.
Rotella makes a synthetic for diesels.

Those of you who use synthetic motor oil in Diesel engines: do you run
extended intervals (e.g. 5-6,000 miles) or still stick to 3,000 mile
changes?
And, 10W-30 Mobil 1 seems much easier to find, and is less expensive than
10W-40 Castrol (I haven't seen 10W-40 Mobil 1 here). Especially during the
winter, even though we have a mild climate generally above freezing, is
there any potential harm in using 10W-30? (manual recommends 10W or 15W-40
for above -10C/+14F; 10W-40 or 10W-30 for below -10C/+14F).
As a side note, when I first started using synthetic oil in the gas cars it
was 4-5 times as expensive as dyno oil. As of last week it was only 2-3 X.
