Can u use 10W30 instead of 15W40?
Because 10W-30 is thinner than 15W-40 oil, its film strength can be weaker and it can be more prone to oxidation. High quality 10W-30 oils can perform as well, and better than industry-standard 15W-40 oils.
What is the difference between 10W-40 and 15W-40 oil?
A 10W40 oil will be thicker in the cold than 15W40 oil, but they will have the same viscosities at higher temperatures. The winter viscosity number dictates cold-start performance. A lower number indicates that the cold oil will be thinner, hence applying less static friction on the engine, and less drag.

How often should you change the oil in a diesel engine?
Most diesel motors recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles. Synthetic oils can lower the exhaust gas temperatures (EGT) in a diesel by a significant amount. Lower EGT means the engine can operate at maximum efficiency and create less heat, which can reduce damage and wear to vital motor parts.
