What oil do YOU use ...??

I've just seen Peter Ingram's thread about timing chain rattle and one reply mentioned heavier weight oil.. Now, I'm thinking about an oil and filter change in my CSE 2.3FPT and wondered what the board's thoughts were on the type of oil to use and how often to change it and the filter??....
I've heard that some of the diesel formulated oils (someone's already mentioned Rotella) are good, but what's the deal with Synthetics??
My experience with diesel formulas is limited to an oil I used in my Honda ST1100. The oil was Castrol Magnatec diesel formula in a 5-50 weight. Magnatec also has friction reducers whose efficiency I can attest to as the wet-clutch in the Honda was rendered almost useless as it slipped like a bugger when gassed over 5k...
So what do you think ??
