Definitely some strong marketing. It changed my mind on what I was going to buy. Not T6, but the Triple Protection.
Shell Rotella T Triple Protection
"22-percent reduction in engine wear"
Wow!
T6
"protection for the latest low emissions technology for after treatment systems and helps promote energy savings and maintenance savings".
Doesn't sound too exciting.
Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend
"fuel economy performance and improved low-temperature flow"
Not too exciting for me.
Rotella T3
"low-ash additive technology, outstanding shear stability"
I like shear stability. Not sure about low-ash additive.
My conclusion
For my 2000 diesel pickup, I think Rotella T Triple Protection with the 22% reduction in engine wear tops my list.
Did someone else come to a different conclusion?
Isn't the Triple Protection a non-synthetic oil?
And why would anyone be extremely excited about T6?
