Does anyone use or recommend Shell Rotell oil?

I HAVE A 300TD 1982 I HAVE ALWAYS USED IT, CAR HAS 138K ON IT--IT HAS A GOOD TRACK RECORD FOR A DINO OIL--I USE 15-W-40 HERE IN FLORIDA, JUST MY THOUGHTS--DENNIS

I use Rotella-T synthetic, however, I do believe that I have been convinced to switch to Mobil 1 when the current Rotella supply runs out.

I use the Shell Rotella T in most of my diesels. It's a top rated dino oil and I can get it at a good price at almost any Wal-mart.

So what do you do when it's so cold out your fuel gels? Smear some on toast and have another cup of coffee until it warms up outside.

I use Amsoil 15W-40 diesel Synthetic Oil,Great oil ....http://www.lubedealer.com/garret_turner

Not another oil thread I have been using it since I got my Benz for almost 2 1/2 years with good results...

I will only use shell rotella 15W-40 from now on in North Carolina Climate. CAstrol 20W-50 is too heavy for winter here and car does not run at proper temp to give any heat in cabin.

Tried Mobil One heavy duty diesel rated oil and I had more oil consumption than with Rotella.

The Mercedes dealer mechanic here highly reccomends Rotella unless I want to pay high dollar for synthetic and he personally told me not to do so since I still had to change my oil every 2500-3000miles with synth.

The Shell Rotella T 5-40 has given me very good results in both my Benz and my VW and my '68 F250 gasser. It's not a bad price and seems to do the job.
