Animal, Sorry I just Do Not Share everyone's enthusiscam about Rotella 15-40 oil used it many yrs ago in a 430 hp Silver Series Detroit Diesel. in a Kenworth. results were waaay less that even average. (Gave our fuel jobber the specks and they were right). We flat could not keep the stuff in the engine. We swapped over to Dello 400 15-40 oil consumption stopped. Period! I can't explain the why or how of it. But since I have personally used it in all my rigs to outstanding success put over 300 K on a 97 F150 w/ a 4.6 V8 currently has 333500k, an old 86 Suburban, put over 150K on it with Dello after we got it @ 87K then later sold it. Currently have a 01 F350 w/ a 7.3 PS Diesel with 145k on it, also My 73, 966 has been on it for ever too. I simply say this to make the point that Rotella is not the only Diesel oil out there. You local Jobber should be able to get what flavor you want and he reps in 55 gal barrels We also bought bulk oil from Texas Refinery Corp from Ft. Worth Texas. For our irrigation engines (low ash) in large quanities of 2400 gallons for we had 3 big over head tanks that we plumed into a room where we could get just what we needed. for our oil changes. This was delivered by semi and pumped of, into our bulk tanks. Hope this helps. Later, John A.
