Rotella ..

mr500 · 06-07-2015, 09:23 AM

NOT to start another oil thread but has anyone used the 5W-40 T6 as opposed to 10W-40 T6 with good results? Any shifting issues etc..

I know only difference is the winter weight but juss asking all the same.

I need an oil change and a buddy has some that he just bought but didn't need. So its kinda free lol.

I have Amsoil 10/40 now in her now.

That's all I use. JASO rated, Great price, easy to find. Your results may vary.

I have used Rotella T6 for the last 5 years. Never an issue.

Me too.

Oh I am a big fan of Rotella. All I ran in the 800 I had.

My issue/concern/question was the 5W-40 Vs. 10W-40 not the oil brand itself.

I have never seen Rotella T-6 in 10-40

the 10w40 is t5 synthetic blend.
And I use t6 5w40 work fine for me.

Ohh ok then. Did not know 1040 T6 wasn't available in FS

Ill stick with the 5-40 and call it a day.
