What engine & year? 4?6

Many are using 5W40 in the 4 cylinder turbos.
With my old NG900, I started using Mobil 1 heavy duty 5W40 oil for diesel engines, was branded 'truck and bus', now 'turbo diesel truck' also gas engine rated. When on boost, effective compression ratios are up in the range of diesel engines. My engine ran smoother and quieter, actually felt more powerful. As an engine wears and clearances open up, you need a heavier oil.
OEM oil specs are a compromise of fleet fuel efficiency and durability. The specs do not address the needs of an engine as it wears past the warranty period.
