After much research and field testing, I found that Amsoil synthetic 0-40w was superior for my gas powered utv. Does anyone here have any experience or opinion regarding synthetic oil in a Perkins diesel? Specifically, I am interested in the Perkins 804c-33t.

I use Shell Rotella T5 blend 0-30 in a Kubota diesel engine. I would use T6 full syn if it came in 0-30. So far so good. I am switching my Perkins AD3.152 to Rotella T5 or maybe T6 at the next oil change in a few weeks.

Curious if either of you have run an oil analysis to support your findings, and if so, what were they?
