No, nothing at all wrong with the repackaged Ford 15w-40. Could be Rotella

Is there a spec put out by Ford or IHC for their engines that Rotella does not meet?

I have read claims about the changeover with high miles on an engine causing seals to leak.GreatWhitehunter said:So are you telling me that if I change over to synthetic rotella I'm going to start having problems? I'd like to get alittle more mileage out of the oil before changing it. I certainly don't want to change oils and develop issues.

Even then I only get hit for 65-75 dollars for it. I also specify Rotella. I probably got a great deal on my last service...did the engine & tranny both with both filters and an air filter... for $262 felt like I came out OK on that... Coulda done it all myself, but the dodge tranny scares me a bit from the horror stories I hear.. so I baby it some and let the pros mess with it.
