Mobil Delvac 1300, Chevron Delo 400, Valvoline Premium Blue and Shell Rotella T. These are the top 4 dino oils that many use in there trucks, take your pick.

also stay away from synthetics until around 30k miles. it'll give the rings enough time to seat properly.

I believe cummins recommends using delo 400, at least they do on their big bores, not sure about the little guys though.
