Rotella T SAE 30, CF-4/SJ

[RWEST]

Haven't seen a VOA on this one, so:

RON: The dominant additive in this Shell SAE 30W diesel engine oil is calcium, which is a detergent/dispersant additive (as is magnesium).
The anti-wear additives are phosphorus and zinc. The TBN read 7.5, a nice, strong reading. When this oil is first in use that TBN number will drop quickly, and then
taper off.
This oil should work well for its application.

Nice to see this! Many thanks. Not too much to it, as it's a fairly old formulation.

I'm not that sure about all this oil analysis stuff. Would this Rotella 30w be better or worse in a 5hp briggs compared to B&S 30w from this VOA?

This has a FP of 460?

I like the ZDDP amount.

It would be close to the same. Run the B&S oil in the B&S.

It's the current formulation, Jim - at least that's what the bottles I picked up at Wally's are showing.
