    Thanks for the tip rado

    I was going to go with Mobile 1 blend for high mileage engines but may look into that instead. Is the Rotella synthetic or dead dinosaur?

    Never mind - found it:

    http://www.shell.com/rotella/products/t6.html

    The write up sounds HOKEY!!!

    "continuously adapts to your driving conditions" - Really??? How does oil adapt to your driving conditions?

    "UNSURPASSED SHEAR STABILITY" - Based on what? How do you even measure that?

    "selected low-viscosity synthetic base oils further energizes the oil's protective capability that promotes fuel-economy performance with no compromise in durability" - energized oil ... gotta get me some right away to put in my perpetual motion machine.

    "34% better wear performance" & "70% better oxidation resistance" - 72.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    "special molecules that resist compression to keep moving parts separated" - & it's grape flavored too!!!




    Sorry, I don't mean to Poo-Poo a good product just because of lame advertising ... just a touchy subject with me.

    If Jerry has had good luck with it, then at least some of the claims must be true.
