Valvoline Premium Blue Diesel Engine Oil
I was in Autozone last night picking up an oil filter and I saw that Valvoline has a 15W40 Diesel Engine Oil. Has anyone tried it? I think they make a 05W40 synthetic also.
I used to run Valvoline Durablend in my 1992 F150 gasser and finally sold her with 247,000 miles on the ticker. So I am willing to give them a try on my 2004 6.0L Plus this stuff is supposed to control the soot better. That is their whole marketing scheme anyway.
I was just wondering if any of you had any experience with it. Let me know.

Here is some product info from Valvoline:
Yesterday was the first time I have seen it. Basically for the life of my 04/04 F250 (just turned 30,000 miles yesterday), I have been running Mobil Delvac 1300 (15W40) without any major problems.
There is some verbage on the gallon jug that mentions something about extending oil change intervals to 10,000 miles. I personally wouldn't do that, but does the higer TBN level make this oil a "tweener" between running Dino and full synthetic?

Provides advanced soot control and cold-start protection
Reduced oil filter restriction at high soot levels
Higher TBN level and wear protection for long-life performance
Balanced formulation helps maximize engine durability
