I've seen the oil, tires, etc debate rage on many web sites... so I'm not looking to start another what is the best oil, do I need synthetic tread.
I finally saw the much written about Shell Rotella T synthetic oil a the local wally world. This is the first time I've actually seen the stuff in the oil section at WW, and can now actually consider using it.
I just purchased a 96 with 23K miles. My first oil change I used Honda dino oil. The honda oil cost around 13-14 dollars. I see valvoline"motorcycle" oil at Napa for 3 something a quart. $13.44 for a gallon of Rotella synthetic at WW. Basically the same price. I not opposed to using dino, but for the same price I could use Rotella.
1. Can someone in the know confirm for me that Rotella T synthetic DOES NOT have the friction modifiers that supposedly cause wet clutch slippage?
2. Is Rotella T synthetic really on par with the higher priced synthetics? Why does shell sell this for so much less?
3. Anyone object to using this oil in a 1500?
4. Any long term 1500 users of Rotella T that can comment?
Thanks
