What made it special to me was when they were discontinuing it and I got around 10 jugs of 5w30 at a steep discountWhat makes the Rotella gas truck so special?
Ran a few premium oils in my Ford including Valvoline Advanced. So far Quaker State Full Synthetic has been great in the 10W30 grade (but not so much in the 5W20).I'm new to the forum... not really sure how to introduce myself... so... Hey. How's it goin'?
I'm down to my last jug of Rotella Gas Truck 5W30 and need to change the oil in my F150 soon. It has an iron block 4.6L. Under 25K miles on it. I broke it in on Valvoline conventional 5W30, then switched to Rotella Gas Truck 5W30. Using NAPA Gold 1372 filters. Oil gets changed every 4000 - 5000 miles (whenever I get time).
I went to go order a couple more gallons of that Rotella oil and cannot find it in stock for less that $50(ish) dollars/5qt jug. I'm trying to decide on an alternative. At the moment, I'm considering Mobil 1 and Valvoline, but I see that they both offer a variety of full synthetic oils. I have no plans on getting rid of the truck and want the motor to last as long as it can... it was PITA to put that engine in.
What oil would y'all recommend?
Yes as I remember RGT was way more about marketing than any breakthroughs in chemistry or value for the price. Surprised they discontinued it after a pretty short time in the lineup.Rotella gas truck was discontinued about 2 years ago. I bought some on clearance and used it in my old Mazda3.
It was not a special oil, if you want to use oil made by Shell, buy Pennzoil or Quaker State.
I run Mobil1 0w40, QS All mileage 10w40, Valvoline EP 5w30, QSFS Euro 5w40, Pennzoil Platinum 0w40, Havoline HM blend 5w30 and QSFS 5w30 in my 04 Expedition w the 5.4l. Any of these run fine in my truck and will too in yours, motor isn't picky. Present oil is M1 0w40.I'm new to the forum... not really sure how to introduce myself... so... Hey. How's it goin'?

It has a picture of a pickup truck on it.What makes the Rotella gas truck so special?
The 4.6L is not hard on oil. Search @dnewton3 posts on his Crown Vic UOAs. He’s gone “unthinkable” distances on conventional/semi-syn oils in his 4.6 and has plenty of data to show it’s perfectly safe and still plenty protective. If you want to “treat” your engine to a great oil for a plebe price point, use M1 FS 0w40 and change it at 10k.I'm new to the forum... not really sure how to introduce myself... so... Hey.

Must be an old link, when I click on it, it won’t let you add to cart or select quantity. Probably since it has been discontinued for several years
Further down it states that it's not available for shipping.Must be an old link, when I click on it, it won’t let you add to cart or select quantity. Probably since it has been discontinued for several years
Told ya so
That is an extremely specific amount…My suggestion is to find any full synthetic 5W-30 at Walmart that is under 22.97 there are several I think a couple of them may even have a current rebate your vehicle is never going to know!
