Who here runs Shell Rotella 15w40 in their 3rd gen diesel?
Here... I ran the 15w-40... then read good reports on the 5w-40 synthetic and it's still reasonably priced compared to Amsoil and Royal Purple... (not to take any thing away from them they are excelent oils, just expensive)
Every person I know runs Rotella...

Its reasonably priced compred to Amsoil and Royal Purple because its not a Group 4 synthetic like they are.Its a Group 3.Its not really a synthetic.Its a super refined conventional oil.Its lacks enough for it not have extended oil drain interval.You get what you pay for.
I know a lot of people like it but I also know of some in the past year who have quit using even in there cars. They say its not holding up as well as it use to so I can only guess its because of them going to the CJ-4 formula.

Makes me feel good knowing when I drain my oil at 7,500 miles there's plenty of life left but my warranty dictates to change.
I finally found it here you go, lot of reading, but page 59 somes it up, the CJs are on the bottom, "good for garbage trucks and fleets"
