Well, looking over past posts, it seems many on here don't like Rotella-T 15w-40 as much as say Delo or Delvac.
Anyways, got a new job working at the local Pep Boys, and with the nice employee discount, I can get oils at a good price.
Thing is, the only HDMO they carry is Rotella-T.
Besides the high pour point (not really a concern in the summer), is there something wrong with this oil? Seems many people say it's not that great, but I'm curious as to why.
Also, how does Rotella-T compare to PCMO's? Seems like even if it is not as good as other HDMO's, it would still protect much better under high-stress operating conditions than a 40-weight PCMO.
BTW, this oil (if I use it) will first be going in a '96 Volvo 850 5spd. with 120,000 that gets driven hard and is using Delvac 1300 15w-40 right now. Car is on 3,000 mile drain intervals.
Thanks,
Justin.
