If your vehicle is primarily a summer vehicle, you actually would be fine with a diesel 15W40.
Further to Rob's comments on engine oil for Diesels, Shell makes a Rotella 10w30 for Diesel engines. I have been using it in my tractor. I'm not sure what exactly is in the additive pack , but I will try to find out, as I may begin using that oil in my jeep.
