the diffrence should be the cj-4 oil rating that is required on the new diesel engines.

check out these links, it will show the diffrence between 2 of amsoil's diesel oils:

Just make sure it a good reputable oil company and it has the CJ-4 rating. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super, Rotella T are good mineral oils and Delvac 1 5w40 is a highly recommended syn.
