Oil change

I went from Vavoline 20-50PB to Castrol 20-50 on the last oil change. Which would be the first for me on this 02 7.3 PSD. First one (Diesel) I've owned. It's got 105,000 miles on it. Good move or bad one ?

I thought Castrol Hypuron was 15-40W? I didn't know Castrol made a 20-50 diesel oil...

Man!! I'm an idiot. Sorry my body and fat fingers were invaded by aliens. I don't know what I was thinking but it's RX15-40. Typical case of being at the beach when you really aren't.

Thanks. I was pondering the Rotella but the guy at the McDos oil change center told me it was popular. Sooooooooo.
