Question about oil viscosity

Is this a mistake? I read somewhere that lube oil for diesel engines was the way to go. Got a good deal on some 15/40 (for diesels) at Costco. Just changed the oil this morning and got to thinking maybe that is too thin. My original Owner's Manual says to use 20/40 (or straight 30wt) in the hottest climate, IE. here in L.A. Oil has come a long way since '69 so it should be good right? This is a new GM stock replacement crate motor. -BA
