We used Rotella t 15-40 in all of them and changed it every 10 thousand miles. the engines would go a million miles with only having the rod and main bearings changed every 300 thousand. Might change a head gasket now and then and waterpumps and an injection pump other than that the oil always done its job. Why wouldnt you use that oil in your engines. I run it in everything that I own. Ive never torn a truck engine apart or anything that that was used in that was dirty or a mess inside. [Reply]   [No Email]

Farm diesels get Case No.1 30w [Reply]  [No Email]

I would not use it in my lawn mower. [Reply]  [No Email]

Where I work at now they use recycled oil in the engines we build. I know you lhave probably done your homework on engine oils like you do everything else that you build or design. But I dont believe rotella is a bad oil lots of engines are still running it today. [Reply]  [No Email]
