Hi,
yesterday I took my car for my first oil change in the US and requested to have a fully synthetic oil that matches my car's oil specifications.
I am no engine expert and the shop put in Rotella T6 5W40. After doing some online research, I realised this is a truck/diesel oil and after reading this: https://motoroilbasics.com/motor-oil-and-gdi-engines.php
started to worry about my new (3k Miles) engine.
Should I go back and request a replacement with a suitable oil due to concerns around deposits on the valves, or is this still a suitable engine oil that should work well in a T-GDI engine for 6 months?
Please advise. Thank you.
BR,
Mike
