Many have been using Mobil 1 5W40 Truck and Bus [diesel and gas engines].
5-50 might be excessive. You could blend it down with other oils. How many is quite a few?
If AeroEd likes 5W50, probably works fine. The heavier oils can make an engine seem quieter and smoother. Older engines bearings will have larger clearances and a heavier oil can be a good change.
