Any thoughts? Was using 5w40 Motul before.
most "diesel oil" is actually dual rated. and has a "stronger" additive pack
there is no 10w40 rotella,
there is 15w40, 5w40, 10w30, and 30wt
Really?
So I must have hallucinated the t-5 10w-40 I saw,and the 0w-40 t-6 I almost bought yesterday doesn't exists.
And the 0w-40 t-5 right beside the t-6 was part of my dream too.
Dude. I suggest looking before posting false info.
Rotella can be found in pretty much every grade made. The only grade rotella I haven't seen are 50 grades,and 5w-30 grades,but I'm not saying they don't exist,just that I haven't personally seen them.
They've got pretty much everything else.
So your incorrect
So should I try out diesel oil on my car? I've always wanted to, my friends have had good luck with it in there high performance cars pushing higher torque and horsepower.
