I use theirs. Their part number is HUG3690. There are others out there, but Dave Hughes was extremely helpful to me when I was building my engine and his company has great customer service after the sale, so I stick with him. They ship things to Alaska via Priority Mail without objection, unlike some companies who insist on UPS or FedEx. Summit Racing and Jegs both have similar products in their catalogs. I read another article about this issue in a diesel engine blog that was pretty detailed and my local Detroit Diesel mechanic talked to me about it as well. The problem is real and is not limited to gas engines anymore. Newer engines have roller cams in them and don't need as much zinc, moly, etc. as older flat tappet cams do. If I remember right, the last good diesel oils quit being sold in 2006 or so. Too bad, and thank your local environmentalist.

No longer, now that new diesels have catalytic converters in them. Whether you like diesel oil or not, your camshaft needs an additive to continue living a long time. www.hughesengines.com has an article about it, among many others on the net. Hughes also sells an additive, or sells oil with the additive already in it. I use diesel oil (Rotella T or Delo 400) and put the additive in it for my newly rebuilt Chrysler small block.
