Couple of the guys use Mobil Delvac1 and Amsoil ... both full synthetic oil. I use Delvac1 and run it up to 7500km (1kz-te) .... some of the guys go up to 10 000km.

If it's a high mileage engine (over 100 000km) and already broken in , I wouldn't recommend using it at this point.

The new common rail engines can safely go up to 10 000km between oil changes.

Do some research and see what you come up with.

use a fully synthetic as sweeks said...

he could use the synthetic if it's over 100K, I used the Castrol Syntec Blend and the Castrol Hypuron when my Frontier was well over 100K without any problems... sometimes I used to change oil every 12000kms when I didn't get the change to change it at 5000 or 7500.

None - Follow your vehicle's manual and recommended intervals at changing oil

Dude whatever you decide on, remember we get the worst diesel you can find ... so it's virtually impossible to eliminate all of the smoking.

The best advice we can give is to change the oil regularly and use a high quality filter.

What exactly you lookin for the oil to do that it becomes spectacular?

Sweeks mentioned the Mobil and the Amsoil in the first place... :roll:

is it normal for oil in diesel engines to go a brown tan colour after say 1500kms?

It's supposed to be black, what's the mileage on your vehicle? If it's brown you could have a blown head gasket resulting in coolant mixing with oil.
