I have no DEF engines. And one can use any 30 wt detergent oil in a diesel engine. Just change it at 3,000 miles.

Fleets and OTR's likely will have issues but there are alternatives.

Just went and bought enough diesel oil and regular synthetic oil to change oil in everything including the generator ,tractor, diesel truck and bulldozer for a year. When trucks and farm equipment run out of diesel oil they will use regular oil and change it more often like Franc said, thats if they are still going after the DEF shortage. Thats going to effect the lite truck and auto oil prices and availability as well.
