1500 mile update on Rotella Syn ... not much to report.
Impressions (can't say data based) ... just general observations:
1. Perhaps less smoke on startup than with M1 15-50
2. Maybe higher oil pressure on the gauge, during low rpm operations, than with M1 15-50
Will continue to report if anything else of interest.
The price at Walmart was what got my attention ... a bit over $3.20 a quart ... since then more synthetics are available.
Would obviously prefer Delvac 1, but, I think I can offset the inherent long drain interval advantages by changing mine a bit for often.
