Question Rotella ..

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.

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.
