Its hard on cats, thats all. Read this link, its Comp Cams who suggests it interviewing shell about its use in the high performance world. I dont want to spoil it for you, but it proves everything you say wrong.

ROTELLA T 15W-40 conventional and 5W-40 synthetic still contain three to five times the amount of the desirable anti-wear additives as some current gasoline-engine oils.
The truth is that the current API CJ-4 category rating offers enhanced levels of anti-wear protection and, according to Shell, ROTELLA T was designed with flat-tappet camshaft protection in mind.
Thats the kind of ---- i was looking for.

so you were a diesel tech and cant spell it? its all in the additive package that makes the diff. in diff brands of oils. and for the guy who said rotella is the best because they use it in freightliners?? HAHA are you kidding, freightliners are shitty. they stand right next to mack. who wants to drive an old ass detroit?

Not like it matters if it's hard on cats. Most people on here who are turbo, don't have a cat.
