I realize that, he asked about a good diesel oil and I offered my opinion on a good oil. Im sure that the OP can decide what weight of oil to use in his 3.0.He's asking about the 3.0. Completely different engine!
What is the difference between gas engine and diesel engine oil?
I use 5/30 euro diesel oil in mine love it.There are a few tube videos that state 5w30 is better. I will use 0w20 because of the warranty, but if GM approves 5w30 I will switch.
My .02 worth: Gas and Diesel engines are two totally different products! Diesels require a higher detergent factor and API rating for your particular engine. Is this your first diesel? I'm a retired driver/manager for Chevron and know what I'm talking about. There are other considerations as well, but those are the two main ones.Can you?
Sure you can use peanut oil if you want to.
But the engine isnt going to last long in that case, But diesel oil is slighly different from gas oil for a reason.
Why are you trying to ventrue out when you have a new truck that if you use the "wrong" oil they can void your warranty.
I dont own a diesel, i stay far away from them.My .02 worth: Gas and Diesel engines are two totally different products!

You have to go diesel. I’m 62 and bought my first diesel 2023 3.0 GMC Denali and I’m pissed at myself for not doing it sooner. I’ll never go back to gas.I dont own a diesel, i stay far away from them.
But i do use "diesel" oil in a bunch of gas burners..
Might as well tell him what a good diesel oil is for a Land Rover...still doesn't apply!View attachment 996798

Front-row valet parking at the mallIm not sure what a $60,000 truck can do that my old beater truck cant do??
lol you have no ideaIm not sure what a $60,000 truck can do that my old beater truck cant do??
Hahaha you have to go to a Mall now days "Loaded For Bear"Front-row valet parking at the mall
Like what?lol you have no idea
Come on that’s like saying your Volkswagen 1970 bug is as good as a Lexus lolHahaha you have to go to a Mall now days "Loaded For Bear"
Like what?
I really am curious.
BYW…I never said Dexos approved. I approved it and my truck approve’s it.Might as well tell him what a good diesel oil is for a Land Rover...still doesn't apply!
BTW...there is no Shell Rotella Dexos D oil.
Hahah the '70 bug is prolly more reliable.Come on that’s like saying your Volkswagen 1970 bug is as good as a Lexus lol
I know just having some fun with you lolHahah the '70 bug is prolly more reliable.
I was just asking cause i wonder how folks "justify" the prices of the newer trucks.
The 3.0s i know of have some crazy oil consumption issues (GM claims 1qt/2500 miles is normal) and if you have ever seen how cramped they have the turbo/exhaust/emissions crap under the hood its crazy.
