    I'm using Penrite HPR Diesel 20W60. It's nothing special but you can get it anywhere.

    Delo 400 is my primary alternate
    Rx Super is my primary oil for all the mechanical diesels.

    In a pinch, anything thats between 5-30 if Im south of brissy/winter and upto 15/40 for north/summer.

    I have resorted 20/50 old engine oil for one that wouldnt keep vavle stem seals on otherwise.

    RX Super.
    Usually get it for around $100 for 20L drum at truck supplies place.

    Its oily, and my engine is still running, but apart from that I've no idea whether its good or not.
