Rotella makes really good oils. I use it.

Yanmar does sell their own brand of 15W-40, that's what the dealer gave me for my free 50 hour service change (I opted to do it myself). But for the 200 hour change I'll probably use Rotella.

I've used Rotella T for 20 years in my 6.5L turbo diesel GMC 4WD pickup.... It has given me good service...

For free I would use it also. If I am paying I prefer Dello 400 or Delvac but thats just a personal preference. Nothing really wrong with Rotella.

That's all I've used in my tractors, but I use the full synthetic.

Which rotella? Some versions have lots of high pressure point wear additives. Other 15-40 Rotella is low additive, low ash and requires roller cam followers etc.

I use Shell Rotella T 6 in all my diesel motors, 332 JD lawnmower, LS P7010 and my B26 Kubota.

Rotella's great oil. I always used Marathon MultiPower III 15W40 for heavy duty until they came out with synthetic. The backhoe has Pennzoil synthetic in it now,and my cars all have Castrol Syntec full synthetic. But I've always heard great things about Rotella.I just happened to be a Marathon and Sohio fuel truck driver/repairman back in the seventies and eighties during wintertimes. don-ohio (:^)
