[QUOTE="Trackar, post: 1437467, member: 29791"] The reason being that retains its viscosity much better compared to other oils and it being a weight heavier to begin with. So after some use it will loose some of its viscosity and be closer to a 5w-30 weight compared to a 5w-30 oil breaking down and being more like a 5w-20 oil. All oils loose viscosity due to wear and heat, the rotella oil is very good at retaining its initial Viscosity after some use since it was made for diesels which almost always have a turbo. Using the oil to also cool a very hot turbo breaks it down even more and the oil was made with that in mind. [/QUOTE]
