I know not too long ago it was all the rage on WRXAtlanta. Supposedly it's good stuff. Personally I don't buy into the difference between quality synthetic oils. But then again I don't really have a car that's pushed to the limits performance wise.

Thing about it.Diesel motor goes through more stress than gasoline motor...Also,diesel engine change there oil every 10-15k miles,sometime long than that......

Rotella T Full Synthetic is some of the best oil I've ever used. Most people on NASIOC (North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club) will agree. A number of highly-regarded engine builders (again referring to Subaru builders) won't use anything else.
Good enough for me. :)

I actually use it in all of my turboed cars. It just seems like it would be able to withstand more heat and give added protection. It is mostly used in Diesel trucks that usually have massive rotating assemblies and turbo chargers, which increase oil temps. I have read a lot of negative talk about using it in Gasoline engines, but I haven't seen any issues with it. Some people say that it cause deposits to form, but I haven't noticed any as long as you change the oil regularly. Some people say that the oil has more detergents than conventional oil and maintains its' consistency longer, but I still stick to changing the oil regularly. The previous owner to my 87 Civic only used Rotella in it and autocrossed the car regularly. I got the car with 255,000 miles on it and drive it pretty hard, and recently when I changed the oil pan gasket, I inspected the bottom of the pan and the pickup tube, and didn't see any bearing pieces at all and my oil pressure is still great. I could still see crossthatches on my cylinder walls, and there wasn't any buildup on the main cap assembly. I was pretty surprised since it has 280,000 on it now and every other D-Series that I have had, the oil pumped has gone out right at around 220,000.

bump for running rotella. I have had great luck with it in cars that need a little more protection.

Yea I love the 5w40 syth rotella, the conventional Rotella *15W40* is proven to make gasoline engines run a bit warmer...

Nice. Imma look into this a little more and consider it im my car. :D Good info. :goodjob:

[blackshine007]

I run 5w40 rotella synthetic and I don't see any other brand going back into my motor other than that. And on top of that, I change my oil every 5k miles and the oil looks as if there's 2500 miles in between changes. How can you go wrong?

[Jordanmd88]

I used to use the 15w40 A because it was cheaper and I would change my oil every 1500 miles. But after seeing Higher oil temps in the summer, I changed nothing but the oil. Tried Mobile 15w50 :( ran cooler but hell it was $$$ Then I tried the 5W40 Rotella and My temps dropped back to what the should be. I found out on the Internet, that other BMW guys had experienced the same thing, same with The VW's and Porsche crew.
