Default What's the BEST oil?

I'm just curious to here everybody's opinnion on what the best oil is for a Ford Powerstroke Diesel is. If you feel like throwing in your 2 cents about the best oil filter I would appreciate that too, although I have pretty much made up my mind to go with a Wix.

I have a 2001 Ford F350, 4x4, 7.3 Powerstroke,AT,SRW, CC, LB with 64,000 miles.

I use canola oil because it's low in saturated fat

I have contacted the dealer and many diesel mechanics, the recommended oil for the 7.3 Powerstroke is Shell Rotella T (high detergency properties, especially important for the HEUI injectors), or Ford's Diesel Oil, and for Filtration, I've used Motorcraft filters with no trouble. I wish you well.
