Rotella 10w30 in a Gas Engine?

[BTLew81]

Car is in my sig. I usually run 5w30 so I can stock one oil for my fleet. I have the chance to get some gallons of Rotella 10w30 real cheap. Any harm running it in my Mazda3? I am guessing no, as it's a proven HDEO and might be a good fit since I am doing some shorter trips, etc.

Thoughts are appreciated.

That's a good product. If it's CJ-4 (to avoid cat problems), I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

If it's CI-4+, don't use it, but let me know where it is so I can get it for my pre '07 stuff!!

Does it meet vehicle manufacturer's recommendation? if not stick with your QS Conven 5w30

20 or 30 is spec'd for this car...

They market the Shell Rotella T With Advanced Soot Control as "a premium quality, heavy-duty multigrade oil for all-season use in diesel-powered or a mix of gasoline- and diesel-powered equipment. It meets or exceeds the warranty and service requirements of virtually all diesel and gasoline engine manuacturers -- for both newer and older engines. It is recommended especially for all on-highway service applications, and is also recommended for off-highway applications, especially where all-season use is desired."

Yes....so to me, this says I can use it in anything!

I'm using Long Life Gold 15W-40 in my gas truck. Been very good to me so far.

I'm using it in my wagon currently. I'll probably get a UOA done when I change it. I'm using the newest CJ-4 version. I had it in there all winter and it seems to be fine so far.
