All you can do is try, the Rotella is a good oil, but it's much thicker then you're used to, and can cause your engine to be a bit sluggish. I used it last summer in my Sohc V6 Isuzu engine, and just switched back to it again for this summer.
However, I spent all winter running the 5w30 Havoline blend, and after replenishing the sump with this 5w-40 Rotella, there's a big difference on take-off power. It's not as willing to rev up when needed - and I forgot about that from last summer.
Actually, I didn't forget, there were other maintenance factors involved that I thought were guilty of power robbing.
I'm gonna run this Rotella for 4k miles, though, cause it's not cheap, and go back to Havoline 10w-40 for the rest of summer.
I thought that I wanted to run Rotella permanently, as it's a fine oil, but it just robs way too much power.
Try it though, your engine will tell you if it's too thick or not.
