What Engine Oil Do You Use?

RE: What Engine Oil Do You Use?
I am currently using Castrol GTX Diesel (15W-40) in my 1985 300TD Turbo. It was on sale and I bought 4 gallons. Once I use it up I think I am going to try the AMSOIL synthetic oil. I also use a MityVac fluid extractor.

I was recommended Rotella from Mbz300sdl and haven't had a problem. Also ran into a vw diesel guy who uses Rotella while buying a few jugs and he only had good things to say about the oil. I only use synthetic.

My 83 300D has 324,000 miles. I paid $700 for it and am the 2nd owner, put about 18,000 miles on it since I had it. I use normal 10W30 oil and it seems to be fine. I change my oil no more than every 4000 miles.
It does not burn any oil and I expect to drive it for another 100,000+ miles. It is in excellent shape. Shall I start using Synthetic Oil or other high end oil as per this forum? Your comments is appreciated.
