.As long as it meets there API rating of CJ4 or better and is 5W 40 synthetic diesel oil you are covered . Shell rotella T6 for example . there are others.
That is also in the manual.
How many miles on your first ?Some people want to get the initial metal & components wear out of their motor for fear of it circulating around in their oil causing unnecessary wear.
first oil change I mean371,000 she pushed a head gasket. Failed government mandated EGR cooler leaked coolant which comes out the tail pipes so no leak is seen. Low coolant lead to hot spots steam & pressure which appears to have pushed the head gasket.
If you can’t do a tune & a permanent fix IE EGR cooler delete then periodically check the coolant level in your degas tank. Generally keep it to the seam. If you have to add coolant more than once you likely have an EGR cooler leak.
