Apparently, from what research I could stand to do, this oil is the shizz. I hate doing research for things like this. I like being told "This is the overall best. Use this." Doing oil research especially makes me want to :vomit: because everyone has some anecdotes, but the data is pretty heavy and it's hard to know what's what. But basically, the consensus is: "Mobile 1 ain't what it used to be and Rotella is damn fine oil besides."
Its the only oil I use for turbo/track cars. Since its a truck rated oil, they do not worry about the new certifications (which are really all for emissions now). So they do not worry about their zinc content and not worry about emissions and "slippery" oils for gas mileage. Also, Mobil 1 went from a grade 5 oil to a grade 4 oil despite their high price.
Of course, it just happens its the right weight for my cars. :lol:
