Rotella T

I have been using rotell t im my 1990 for as long a I rememeber, both sybthetic for winter and reg dino < yes I switch off with NO PROBS>

it is safe to say it has been used in my 1990 since about 1993 when it was the OLD sf/cc/cd or whatever

anyway I also use it in my 1992 since i purchaed it with 114k it now has
170k never burn a drop in either one.... seems like they find their own oil level i use 2 gals for each change althought the manual says 7.5 qts..

I love it and Yes I can get it at bj club or sams for dino at about 32 bux a case.. Dino synthetic about 18 i think maybe 14 cant remember.. I do see the mobil 1 5 qts there too but I am not required to use it since mine are older diesels..

had to put a timing chain in the 1992 right after i bought it but i will have no probs using rotella t for ever!!

www.shell.com has some interesting info on it..
