Do it on the cheap (but good quality). Use the Supertech (Walmart) filter ST7317 (It's made by Champion), and Rotella-T 5w40 full syn. (in the Blue Jug).

That filter is cheap (~$3) and it is the the same quality as OEM...plus it is a bit taller so it will filter just as good, if not better that OEM.

So I decided to go with Amsoil and Jesus was it expensive. Cost me $71 for a oil change. I don't even spend that kind of money on my girlfriend. However I instantly noticed a difference, she shifts a lot smoother. Still not perfect but a world better.

It's heavy duty motor oil. There's no such thing as diesel oil, or gasoline oil for that matter.
Check out what these guys think: Bob is the Oil Guy Forums.
