Topic: Rotella Oil

For the last oil change on the Jeep I went with Shell Rotella 10w-30 synthetic blend and a Wix filter. It is a diesel-rated oil but is also SM-rated for gas engines. Being diesel-rated it should have more ZDDP than gas-only oils and better for flat-tappet Jeep engines.

This choice was seconded by the oil geeks at www.BobIsTheOilGuy.com.

I will get a used oil analysis after 3000 miles and report back. I sent in the regular Pennzoil that I drained out to use for comparison. I had been running Pennzoil to use for two Auto-RX clean and rinse cycles.

I hav run Rotella the past few oil changes. After some reading I found that the zink content is not what it use to be. The benifits are minimal now. I use it cause I wanted to try a 15w 40 to quiet the motor down a bit. Im going to be going back to normal dino oil.
