That's interesting, I have Rotella in my Rodeo right now. I was told to put it in there specifically because over time the beefier detergent package might help with the tendency of the hydraulic lash adjuster to stick and tick when the engine's cold.
I do notice that the heavier weight produces lower oil pressure than I'm used to seeing, and there is still some tick for an instant on startup. I'm glad I did it in warm weather...when I change the oil in the fall I will be going back to 10w30.
