Shell Rotella Gas Truck Oil

[Joey]

Anybody running this oil & if so, what do you think of it?

I’m a fan of Rotella oils but I haven’t tried the gas truck oil yet since it’s relatively new in Canada.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I saw a UOA somewhere and it indicated that it was a somewhat average oil. Try it and let us know how you like it.

I used Rotella T6 5w40 multi vehicle in my Raptor and its a great oil.



UOA indicates it’s a great option for the 3.5 and you can max it out at about 6500 miles. I prefer to use 5000 mile OCI.

I've run it forever in my BMWs, seems to be very common to use in high performance gas cars. Dunno if it has additives that mess with cats, but I haven't seen any issues yet. Not running it in my raptor only because I'm being careful to run exactly the recommended oil weight because of warranty + phasers.

I used T6 5w40 before. Used gas truck 5w30 on the last two oil changes. No complaints. Oil consumption is low as well but my truck barely burns any oil...

Will continue to use it.

I prefer high quality high performance synthetic lubricants and prefer Red Line. Royal Purple is also a quality option. I was involved in NASCAR and AHDRA drag bike racing. The only lubricants used by race teams was Red Line, a big reason was high thermal stability and also superior lubricating properties. I've been using it in all my vehicles for 30 years no issues.

Why not? Diesels have Cats AND DPFs...

something to think about is cold pour in the winter.... some of these are poor. Mobil appears the best at that.
