I've heard some decent things about Rotella T. I use Durablend in my car though.

I run Rotella in the XR. Good stuff. :y

I heard it has an additive that will plug a catalytic converter if burned... so... beware if you use one. Chances are your car burns oil if you're a member of HMT. Then again, it's equally probable you don't use a cat. :)

I've been told the Rotella contains extra detergents to help keep the engine internals clean. Don't most big rigs run cats? Rotella is mainly used in those vehicles. I would think their cats would clog.

Kinda gave up on that after superstore fell through.

Think I might just buy a drum of Rotella, and run it for everything.
