Engine oil

Thats funny.LOL.Show your proof?I have used rotella,delo,Valvoline prem.blue and delvac with the same results in my diesel trucks,mowers and tractors.

My proof is from my Ex's father. He is a oil salesman who worked for Shell for over 20 years. He advised me to use other oils than Rotella. He never said it was a bad oil, just that there was much better choices at the same price point.

Thats proof enough for me. He has 40 years in the oil business.

Don't get me wrong, I have used plenty of Rotella product and never had a single issue but when someone in the industry talks I listen. I did notice compared to other oils the Rotella seems to bubble/foam more than others I have used.

I can care less what you or anyone else buys. I use what works best for me and my customers. Only one request Rotellat T5. I do what they ask.

What it does matter? Use what you want. Rotella is at the same price point as Dello, Delvac, Castrol, Valvoline, and a few others. They all get the job done. So does McDonalds but if I can getva better burger for the same money I will.

I guess it seemed to matter in your earlier post about rotella oil but I guess not now?IMHO its all about a credibility statement about oil.You might want to do some research here www.pqia.org

Per VOA's, all the normal 15/40 oils are about the same. Very little difference in them to say that one is really any better than the others.

I have seen this site many times. My E's father has used it to show me why brand X is better than brand Y many times. I can not tell you what makes one better than the other but looking back on it there is major differences in the additives. As Peacock mentioned, they all do the same job. And as I mentioned there are better products for the same dollar instead of just going with the brand that has the biggest advertising budget and brand recognition like McDonald's.

Since we are comparing fast food to oil,,,I doubt McDonalds is any better for you than Burger King

Actually, what I meant was that, according to virgin oil analyses, all the 'normal 15w40' oils are nearly the same. Additive packs and all. Not much to gain from any of them.

They've all gone wayyyy downhill in lubricity since the advent of DPF and the CJ oil grade.

A salesman's opinion is just that- an opinion, and nothing more.
