What oil are you running in your motor?
I have a 2003 durmax. I can not find any oil local that is rated for diesels.
why can't you run oil for a gasoline motor ?

Go to Wal Mart or any parts store and buy Delvac 1300 15W-40, Delo 400 15W-40, Castrol Tection 15W-40, or Rotella T 15W-40. They carry the CJ-4 API spec, which is the latest diesel spec.
The additive package/levels is different in a gasoline rated oil -vs- a diesel oil. Don't run a gas spec oil in a diesel.
Currently using Delo 400 15w-40. As said above, go to a auto parts place, or :eek:Wal-Mart, and get some diesel rated oil...
Rotella T 15W-40 Around $9 at Wally world. Should also be an auto parts store or truck stop in your area that ahs diesel oil. Heck my local grocery store now carries Rotella 15W-40.

Been using Mobil 1 5W40 for Turbo Diesel. I get it at Wal-Mart, Advanced Auto, Fleet Farm, the Farmer's Co-op, etc. Prices are best at Fleet Farm in this area and they carry a boat load of Diesel rated oils, dino and synthetic.

jeep poor - Had to laugh at your name, I know the feeling. Just Empty Every Pocket. Prepping to go to Moab currently and it seems like I'm hemoraging cash right now to get ready.
X2 on Mobil1 5w40. At the very least you should be able to find Rotella at a local truck stop.
