Jon,

Diesel motors and gas motors have different requirements.  I am sure that you noticed how black your oil was even a few miles after a change.  That is because diesel motors put soot into the oil.  There are oils specifically made to deal with this soot.  I do not know of a synthetic or any oil that Kendall makes that is suited to diesels.
