Re:oil brand

Pretty much whichever oil they make a deal with the distributor for most likely.

The dealer I take mine to has 3 oil options for the Diesel.
Delo (I think, I remember seeing a chevron logo), a synthetic blend (rotella maybe), or full synthetic (not sure on brand).

I guess I'll have to pay attention next time I take it in.

Best bet is to ask, I'm sure the "free oil change" doesn't include the more expensive oils.

Re:oil brand

My dealer offered Shell Rotella as well. Not sure if its on DC's approved list but I do not see how it can be an issue it the dealer choose to use it.
