What kind of engine oil should I use in a Toyota 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel? I plan to use a 20w. It's in an AC 6140.

I think you mean a Toyosha engine. Most asian diesels that I have, I use 15w40...

I use shell rotella T 15-40 in my Yanmar 2020D and in my 52 CA, I ran it in all my road tractors up until retirement. Good oil.

You are correct - It is a Toyosha engine. (Dang spell check) I was interested in the oil brand to use and the Rotella sounds good. Your opinion on synthetic?

Synthetic on a 35+ year old tractor? Not needed.
