My Other = Chevron Delo 400 15w - 40 All the time with 5K intervals & Fleetguard filter. Had previously run Valvoline PB but like the new formula Delo better based on its chemistry. Just my opinion.

Rotella in all my deisels for years and never had a problem and don't ever plan on changing. I have seem some very high miles and hour on deisels useing Rotella that have been worked very hard and have not seen that in the other oils . That is what I would like to hear about a deisel that has 10000 hours or a million miles on it useing some of the other oils. I just can't see paying a lot more for a oil when a cheaper one will make these engines run this long.
