Who here runs Shell Rotella 15w40 in their 3rd gen diesel?
Well here's my 2 cents worth!! I have 337000+ miles on my 3500 SRW 4x4 CTD . I put about 10,000 on a month pulling RV's for a living. So I change oil at 10,000 intervals. Rotella Syn. 5w40 with NAPA Gold filters. Oil & Fuel at them intervals. I also use Lucas add. in every thing. Still running STRONG!!! There are some powerstrockers & dogamax's that can tell ya that!!
i usually run delo 15w40 ci-4+ in my 06. however it is getting hard to find so i am switching over to rotella ( i already run rotella 15w40 in my lawnmower, my 2 toyota trucks and my 2 dirt bikes w/o a problem)

I always used the rotella 15w-40 until it changed to the CJ. So now I use Valvoline Premium Blue CI Plus. If you look at the TDR results. Rotella synthetic is high on list, regular Rotella 15w-40 is one of the worst.
Muted one day, Banned the next....... Ah the life of a DTR 1%'er

I switched to Rottela Syn this month after reading the TDR results. However 82,000 miles and running strong
