Am I okay using Shell Rotella vs. Caterpillar brand oil?

I've never seen single weight Rotella T1 at Walmart... At least not in this area.
I usually order two 5 gallon pails from Keller Heartt. They'll usually have a sale once a year and the price is irresistible. And delivered to your door. Right now $93/ 5 Gal free shipping.

Do you like the 40W over the 30W for any particular reason?I've never seen single weight Rotella T1 at Walmart... At least not in this area.

Nah, I use 30W here in Fl. Link was an example.Do you like the 40W over the 30W for any particular reason?
Westerbeke recommends for their diesel models - A.P.I. code CF or CG-4, S.A.E. #30, 15W-40, 10W-30 or 5W-40.I recall reading in the Westerbeke manual that 30W should be the highest weight oil.
Thanks for the great insight Frank! What is the difference with the Rotella T1 vs. the Rotella found at Walmart? I just used the Walmart Rotella on my WB genset oil change. 15-40.
