I know some of you guys may be 50/50 on this question maybe not. I have a 2002 F350 4x4 Ford Superduty diesel with the 7.3
I have only used two brands of oil 15w40 Motorcraft originally when the dealer used to change the oil and as of the last 2-3 oil changes I went with the Shell Rotella T 15w40.
No problems with the Motorcraft 15w40 I think it is a decent oil. No problems with the Shell Rotella T 15w40 I think it is a decent oil. Truck likes both. The problem up until recently is I could not find the gallon jugs of Motorcraft 15w40 anywhere not even the dealers they only had the quart bottled or 55 gal bulk.well, since the truck takes 15 quarts it was a hassle to deal and get rid of 15 empty bottles. Recently, I have seen the gallon jugs of MC 15w40 at Parts America 9.98 gallon.
The Rotella is sold in gallon jugs at most automotive places as well as truck stops, easy to find and priced at 9.98 gallon.
My situation is should I stick with the Rotella or go back to Motorcraft? Is one better quality than the other? I really don't have a clue? Which oil has more bang for the buck?
