just need some quick advice on oil

i am switching to diesel oil for a few reasons.

i know the choice most use is 15 40...

but what about SAE 30?

are there major differences besides weight? should i just stick with 15 40?

thanks in advance :beer:
 
nevermind i found my answers. hah search button, go figure!

what do need oil for? i thought the new low sulfer diesel was supposed to keep everything slippery in there.
