After searching around town I guess I found the last container of 5W-40 diesel oil. I used Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme.
Also ordered 3 gallons of the same from Amazon but will have to wait a month for delivery.
Or maybe the "Similar threads" help function below the message you are typing didn't answer my question which was specific for diesel oils.
Or maybe the dumb part of your post was spending the time and energy to type something but not answering my question?
Thanks to the others that actually...
I have been using Shell Rotella T6 5W/40 for my 2014 F250 6.7L diesel but can't find any right now.
Can I use any other brand of diesel oil with the same weight to top off my oil in my truck? I need probably a quart.
I'm thinking about using Mobil Delvac 1 5W/40

I think all of this is in your head.
Oil is a lubricant and as long as you are within the temperature range of the viscosity it doesn't matter.
15W/40 is probably the best grade of oil to use if you are within the temperature requirements.

Exactly. Good luck trying to collect.

Use Marvel Mystery Oil. Less expensive and works as well.

Quite a few people buy into the oil grade and brand hype.
As long as you follow the temperature limits of the specific oil viscosity and change your oil regularly it doesn't matter what grade or brand of oil you use.
People spending over $6.00 a quart on oil are being suckered.
