Don't neglect the timing belt!
As a note to Lawson's TDI we did the heater core 2 weeks ago... what a PITA! Ended up having to take the whole dash out.

Your best bet would be Mobil1 Turbodiesel truck. While 5w40 Rotella is a great oil that far exceeds the original spec for that engine the Mobil1 is only marginally more expensive and is an even better oil. Mobil1 filter 'M1-301' is the best filter. Avoid cheap filters like Fram as they are only marginally better then no filter at all. With either of the above oils and a quality filter you are safe to change the oil every 7500 miles.
