Thanks very much FBM!!!! Appreciate the detectives work on the breakdown!

Thanks Rich! I have used this stuff in my motorcycle for the last 45,000 miles and I love it. Delo 400 15w 40 was my favorite for a while but in the last few years I'm on Rotella T4 or T5 but always 15w40. (next oil change is T6 to see how that feels) Tried some Delvac 5W40 once and the transmission hated it. Looking forward to seeing those other tests tomorrow!

Great info. Had to turn my volume up to 100 to hear/understand what you were saying.

Ditto!

Diesel engines aren't susceptible to low speed pre ignition but I feel like there's a reason why Motorcraft wanted some of that magnesium put in their versus the other diesel oil manufacturers that don't use any magnesium

Magnesium is supposedly a really good acid neutralizer specific to diesel engines. Thats why you find it in Diesel Oil its different with gasoline engines they almost never put magnesium in gas engine oil.

TX oil company, the best record for my diesels: TRIAX, PLENTY moly.

Thanks Rich!

Very interesting

NONE of these oils are 10000 mile oils. They get environmental credit for longer oil change intervals and cost of ownership stats go down woth longer pil changes. Those long oil changes aren't for you it's for them. L Watch Lake Speed for some info. He's a lubrication specialist

I would like to see one ford motorcraft 10w30 Diesel oil vs shell rotella t4 10w30 Diesel oil

Got anymore 10W-30 VOA Videos? This is great thank you!

I've been using 5w40 motorcraft in my 6.7 Powerstroke. Figured if Ford made it for their diesel it has to be the best for it. It's pricey too compared to others. After his review, not so sure it is the best now.

Is Rotella T4 Conv. good for more than 3 months if it’s driven less than 3k ? What would be a good timeframe (months) to change it out @ ?

@JustAGuy85

For sure. Robust oil. You can't judge an oil by the VOA TBN. They don't all go down at the same rate. You might have one that starts with 8 TBN and after 8k miles, has 2.5TBN. Then another oil may start with 12TBN and be at 2TBN after 6k miles. bitog has infinite UOA/VOAs to look at. I've read them for years. I'm a T6 5W-40 guy for most everything and Pennzoil Plat or Ultra Plat in most of my cars. Moving over to Pennzoil Plat High Mileage for one car that's has the GM 3800II and about 130k miles on it. It's already reducing the oil consumption. It did not have Pennzoil Plat from the start. Had a lot of Castrol GTX 10W-30 in it. Despite 3k mile oil changes, it didn't protect seals that well. But the high mileage oil is already reducing consumption fast. I prefer to run synthetic in everything. You can go 8k miles on practically any synthetic without issues in a car and still have room to go, I just don't like to go more than that. Then you get better cold starts and cold weather starting on top of it all. The base oils are better and the additives are USUALLY stronger add packs (more robust) and the TBN will last longer and fight off oxidation for far longer than conventional oil. It's not worth it to run a synthetic if you're gonna change it every 5k miles or anything unless it's 0W-30 because you live where it's -20 or more Fahrenheit all the time OR if you have a high performance car, you'll want synthetic. You'll also notice better fuel economy with synthetic. But since it costs more, you do want to get your money out of it... so get a good filter that will last 8-10k miles and run it 8-10k miles. Depends on engine, driving style, etc. Drive 3 miles a day? Then sure, I wouldn't run it 10k miles. But if you drive 30 miles to work and 30 miles back on the highway? 10k miles ain't nothing on a quality synthetic oil, honestly. Just need a quality filter that can also last that long. Purolator Boss is a top notch filter. However, I do like to run AC Delco in GM and Motorcraft in Ford for my filters and spark plugs.

@JustAGuy85

But, yeah, generally, oil should be changed by 1 year regardless of miles. That T4 is probably good for 5k miles easy. Oils have improved and the old "3k miles oil change for conventional/6k miles for synthetic" is not true anymore.

I would be running Oil Extreme Concentrate in those Oils.... Will make the TBN 20 +

@@FordBossMe I would go ahead in trying Oil Extreme in Engines and CVT's especially. It saves motorists Thousands of $.... From the car Manufacturers who use Lubricants of Low Quality.

Boron is the good stuff man cant have enough of it. My personal ideal oil formulation would have 300-500ppm Born, ~1000ppm ZDDP cant really go higher these days anymore and thats enough for modern engines and as much calcium as it can have while keeping the ash at a reasonable level so probably around 2000ppm. Maybe go for magnesium instead if it was doe diesels and LSPI affected vehicles.

What are your thoughts on using Rotella T4 in a SBF 302 with a flat tappet cam? Engine is stock from 1985. Shell tech support said the T4 is OK to use. Curious as to what you think. I’ve been using Valvoline VR1.

Gas mileage and oil pressure were also better with T5 over T4, and being in Texas, the T5 handles our heat better thanks to it being a synthetic blend.
