I can probably reccommend a good search engine to find this topic discussed ad infinitum here and elsewhere on the net...
I have always used Castrol GTX Diesel though stuff like Castrol JMax (specially for jap oil burners) comes highly regarded.
Consider installing a bypass 'toilet roll' oil filter if you are keeping it for a long time.

Yip Mobil delvac MX is really good oil, Its the same stuff that CAT use in all there machinery (in a cat labeled bottle), its a multi use fleet oil and meets or exceeds the criteria for Petrol engines aswell.
The best one is Delvac 1 which is the diesel/multi use version of Mobil 1, I used it in my high reving race quad for years and it ran sweet.
