When I owned my CK20, I put in RedLine 15w-40 when I did the first oil change. Followed the same suit with my CK30 that I now own.

Lots of msgs here about synthetic vs. "dino" oil. I think most everyone agrees synthetic is better, especially after a break in period with normal oil.

I would think of Shell Rotella 5-40 synthetic if I were you.

Funny some forum member said recently that oils are like religion, you don't know if you chose the right one until it's too late!!
