    HPR5 which is 5w -40

    Probably best oil.

    I've used cat DEO ULS 15W-40 for about 20,000ks with no issues.

    I've used Valvoline in my D3 since I've owned it. My current recommendation is Synpower MST 5W40

    Engine oil recommendation

    So.... I always buy a 6L bottle, measure 300ml out and pour in the rest. But!! They also sell 5L bottles. Lucky I check the oil occasionally. Took me a while to figure it out

    Use whatever brand is preferred,as long as it is the specified oil for the engine,you will have nothing to worry about.

    The manufacturer may use a different spec oil for a different ambient,just change to suit if needed.

    Unless there is a problem with the engine,why change from the what the manufacturer specifies?
