Recently purchased a new car and my first ever diesel.
It has a Toyota 1KD-FTV engine which is an I4 Turbo Diesel with Common Rail Direct Injection.
While looking at the oil options i have, i found these 3 possible choices.
Shell Rotella T6 Synthethic 5W-40 (API CJ-4)
Chevron Delo 400 LE 15W-40 (API CJ-4) (Not the "synthethic" version)
Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 PurePlus (API SN)
All of them cost almost the same. (The Rotella T6 being the more expensive i believe and the Shell Helix Ultra the cheapest BUT i havent checked the Shell Helix Ultra price for almost a year so that could've changed)
Would you go for a diesel engine oil or a gasoline engine oil?
