Did a search but can't find it - which oil to use? - Diesel Forum

I'm sure this has been debated many times......can somebody point me in the direction a link that will tell me which oil to use?

FYI I've been using Rotella 5W 40 from Wal Mart w/ a Motorcraft filter.

For your 2001? You said you've been using Rotella 5w/40. So if you've had good luck with it, then I'd stick with what you have been doing. Just my $.02.

Yep, for my 01. Can't say I've had bad luck, but if there is a better oil out there, I'd be open to trying it.

Well you'll get a hundred different opinions about which oil is best. I have never used Rotella 5w/40 but I'm sure it's a good oil. If I were you, I'd stick with what has been working.
