Regular Shell Rotella T. I don't know if I agree about synthetic doesn't make any difference for pre-oiling before starting. I believe no matter what it's better for the internals if they are pre-oiled before being subjected to the loads which occur under combustion. Doesn't matter if it's synthetic or dino there. Cold or hot weather. Getting the oil (any type) circulating through the internals is better before firing.
Now, I just have to figure out where to interrupt the firing process. A truck mechanic friend told me the cut power to the e.c.m. before cranking and it won't fire. He thinks it will still fire without the fuel pump for a short time. I'm going to swing by the Freightliner dealer and see what they say.
