To read all the "oil war" posts it seems that anything is suitable as long as it is not an "Energy Conserving" type. That is, one without friction modifiers (moly) that will make your wet clutch slip.

I would look in your manual and use whatever the big K says to use.

Go to Walmart and buy 3 quarts of Rotella 15w-40. Use 2.6 of the quarts.
You're set..

+1 Paper! That's what my '05 has used since new. Never a problem.

32,600 miles now.

5600 miles on my 08 with the Rotella...she likes it!
