Hi all,
Last oil change I put in about 1.1-1.2 quarts of a mystery oil. Im 99% sure its Rotella T5 but its either 5w30 or 10w30.
I've been having a very small oil burning issue, 1 qt every 5,000-7,000 miles. BITOG laughed me out of the board when i brought it up. And rightly so, after putting it into perspective it is a non-issue and I simply adjusted my OCI accordingly. I was caught up in vying for that 10,000 mile OCI.
That said, having put this HDEO in the truck, do you think the ZDDP and other HDEO additive package might help to stop an oil burning issue? Will it clean out any sludge? is there anything this oil will do that it otherwise would not had it not been added? (Cleaning wise?)
I know we're talking a relatively small amount here. Around 15% of the total oil in the crank is Rotella but im curious whether the add package will help clean it out better or did i simply add more oil?
Thanks for any info here. Something i've been curious about. I've driven roughly 1,500 miles so far so there's nothing else i can add at this time.
Truck has 165,000 miles on it and i have never drained the oil and seen any sludge or clumps of oil, even when i "over-drove" an oil change interval well beyond its life.
