Hi,
Attached is High Priest Jason's favorite link.
Rotella 15W-40 (not 5W-40) is recommended for diesel application.
There are other Shell motor oils on the recommended list for gasoline
engines, but only for European Specification motor oils.
I would recommend Mobil 1 0W-40, but in a pinch 15W-50, 0W-30, 5W-30
and 10W-30 are all good substitutes. 0W-40 and 15W-50 are the only
two grades of Mobil 1 which meet ACEA A3/B3 specification.
thanks
jae
