Shell Rotella Gas Truck >5k OCI?

Just put this (RTG 0W-20) into my wife’s Jeep Patriot for the colder part of winter. Will probably change for the summer in May at 5-6k miles

@IndyFan - you have seen my UOAs with it. In the 3.6L, the average TBN is 2.59 after 5K miles. While there is a little life left, for me, it is not enough to warrant me going past 5K.

I would not consider RGT to be a long drain oil, but if one wanted to push it, one could likely get 7-8K out of it.

I sure hope you got to change that indoors!

No, just have a carport.
It was a good day to do it - about 30 degrees, and no wind. It actually wasn’t bad!

Have it in the Acura in signature --- 0W20 at the moment and running perfectly fine with alittle over 1100 miles on the oil.
