Shell Rotella T6 5W40 CJ-4/SM vs CK-4

[GermanAutohaus]

Just got the results back today. Thought i'd pass on the info. In both images the CJ-4/SM in on the left, while the CK-4 is on the right.

me too..... that was really nice of you to get the VOA done and share it Brett. Steve

Thanks for sharing. Rotella CK-4 still has phosphorus above 1000; Ford should be happy with that and add it to the approved list.

You're very welcome! I just love sharing the knowledge. To help with any confusion this is the dedicated CK-4 analysis.

To a layman the old CJ4 looks so much better. Thank you for the report.

Great share. Thanks. Not sure why Ford isn't approving?

I wonder what the new multi engine T6 is going to be like.

 

[motor_oil_madman]

I don't like it. Seems too weak imo.

I am inclined to agree.

The 15w40 ck-4 looks to be a much better oil for the money. http://pqiadata.org/Shell_Rotella_T4_15W40_4192017.html TBN- 10.27 Calcium 2295 Phosphorus 1080 Zinc 1203 Boron 207

When are the Diesel oils going to come out in 5 quart jugs?

 

[Garak]

Oddly enough, the Shell Rotella products up here are available in 5 litre jugs, unlike most of the competition, which is either 4 litre or 4 quart jugs (aside from pails, drums, and so forth).

I just picked up two of the new 5 liter jugs at canadian tire for $40 CAD each. Will take me at least a year to get enough kms on to do a UOA. Wish me luck.

I use that stuff on everything, goes great on salad. 😜 I used it in my Land Rover, I no longer have that and I now currently use T6 in my Land Cruiser, I love that oil. I think it is the best oil you can buy for the money. And you can get it anywhere.

IMHO: If the new version is not API rated SM or SN for gas engines, I'd steer clear of using it in those applications!

+1000

Am I reading this right? The new stuff has moly, so I can't use it in my wet clutch ATV? This is the stuff I have used for years in my Grizzly.
