The fact the fault resets after switching off could mean no fault codes are being recorded and a scanner with dedicated software will be needed to investigate further.

It could be a turbo overboost condition which might have nothing at all to do with the turbo. Last time I heard about a similar problem it was eventually traced to a defective egr valve.

You need to have the fault codes read with a scanner.

What is the proper oil for the car 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD V8-400ci 6.6L DIESEL TURBO

It will be a diesel oil only, with a viscosity rating of 15w-30 or 20w-50 depending on the ambient temperature of your area. The brand is immaterial but it has to be diesel oil to have the ingredients needed to run a turbo. Oil used in a petrol engine will not be suitable for this application.
