    Old UOA from 2019 | 1985 Dodge Ram 225 Slant 6 - Rotella T4 15W40 - 2,600 miles

    I put over 200 000 on a 72 Dodge dart before it was totaled. 280,000 on a 65 Dodge snub nosed van before I sold it. Never had the head off either. Did need a couple sets of valve seals and valve adjustments. These engines are what sold me on Rislone. Still use it occasionally.

    I retired from my federal job at 60(2007), and the Army Reserve at 62. It was wonderful. Medical insurance and income was good. Traveled a lot and did anything we wanted. My wife was diagnosed with stage4 colon cancer in 2011 and fought it for 15 months. I was in a funk for a year then met my...
