Same for me, Dodge 2500 with a 5.9 magnum developed the same noise on Mopar and then Pennzoil. The guy at the auto parts store suggested that I try Rotella...the noise dissapeared and never returned.

I think people have such strong opinions on oil (and filters) because they don't know any better. Paying the most for the 'best' whatever helps people feel better, which is what one needs if they don't know any better. I've always used cheap oil and filters and never had an engine problem, but I always change oil every 5k miles.
Great video! From lawn mower to RV only T6 for me gas or diesel. I've got a 2014 Audi Q7 gasser with 410,000 miles running T6 since new and it's never ever had a single issue not one.
Exactly, These guys like to go buy those expensive quarts of oil for ATV or dirtbike and you can buy a gallon for a fraction of the price and get a ton of oil changes.
No worries. I use ...T6 in my kubota, Polaris, all my gas and diesel gen sets...tacoma... and lexus....like to see a wear comparison with other diesel oils.....
@@trd_tooly3722 I always use upgraded (synthetic approved) oil filters and only fram if that is my only filter left. Air and fuel filters I'm more loose on....my kubota is close to an oil change and there's no black or darkness.
Older diesel oils had a higher zddp zinc content which would do the gas engine good but harm catalytic converters on gas engines. Todays diesels are now equipped catalytic converters so I'm sure the oil formulation has been modified to accommodate newer emission equipped diesels.
That was all bullshit the EPA just didnt want people using it for other reasons.There was NEVER any scientific data that proved the oil would harm cats just bullshit!!!
Huh ? People haven't been doing this for the last 40 years? Hell I put diesel oil in my 4 cylinder Kia & Hyundai engines , not one failure in a high failure engine type
W40 weight is better for diesel and older cars. I switched to 5w40 rotella T6 in my vw tdi because 5w3o was leading to reports failed camshafts, so vw put out bulletin to go to heavier weight oil . And then I decided use the same T6 in my old Yukon xl 5.3l with 200,000 miles to stay off the dreaded failed lifters.
I run Rotella T6 5w-40 in everything I own 2007 toyota tacoma, 2008 Kawasaki KFX 450r, 2015 Yamaha R3, 2017 Yamaha Raptor 90, and my riding lawn mowers. There is the one oil for everything and this is it. Oh I forgot to say I threw out the gun oil I was using and use Rotella T6 in a small needle bottle now for all my guns as well. The slides and bolts have never run smoother try it!
So many older pickup truck drivers use diesel 15w40. Cleans sludge out. Handles the worn rings blow by reduced. Higher idle oil pressure. My alum head micro crack stopped leaking at warm up! 200,000 miles. 0w20 sucks for soot in tail pipe by 30,000 miles! Upped to 5w30 and lucas gas clean. Stopped sooting! My newer truck loves the real oil film.!!!
I've been using Shell Rotella T6 in my Caravan for years. Same with my 2016 Chev Silverado. And in my BMW 318i. It's not a bad idea actually. Some of the oil passages in some engines (ie Chrysler/Yamaha V6's) have pretty small oil passages and are prone to sludging up, so any oil that has extra detergents to keep particulates down is a good idea.
i also changed my 6.0 over to 5w-40 T6 but still using a quart or lucas synthetic stabilizer in it. had my oil pump fail so i put the high pressure high volume melting in it after reading the only “oil starvation” issue was on a vette doing mile long pulls. now i idle at roughly 62 lbs and run down the road in the 70’s. oil is still pretty golden after 2k miles. please update with your oil analysis.
Where I work all we use is Delo 400SDE. We run it in 2.0 GM propane forklifts, a 2.3 Ford Ranger, 1 12 valve and 2 24 valve Cummins 5.9s, diesel front end loaders, a 7.3PSD, and 6-7 different Cummins N14s. No issues with running it in any of these engines over millions of hours and miles between all of them.
It’s great oil for trucks. Keep on what you are doing. It will keep your engine cleaner and better wear additives, the wix oil filter is a great filter. Keep on trucking.
Wife is on point with the snarky come backs lol. Never seen the 5w40 will check for it. Like the idea for our here in the SoCal desert and pulling my trailers with my 6.0 sierra
Yes it will work just fine. The only issue is it has more zinc which messes with the cats... "Diesel engine oils have a higher anti-wear (AW) load in the form of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). The catalytic converters in diesel systems are designed to be able to deal with this problem, while the gasoline systems are not."
The “SN” ratings on diesel oils such as Delo, means that it has additives to handle gasoline contaminates, but it also means that the oil needs to reduce the amount on anti-wear additives (such as “Zinc”) in order to maintain the “SN” rating. So any “SN” rated diesel oil only has as much anti wear additives as gasoline oil. That is why Rottela dropped the “SN” rating on all their diesel oil and created the “Gas truck oil” separately for gasoline powered engines. In doing so, Rottela diesel oil also dropped the additives that handle gas contaminates. So a Delo with an “SN” rating is a multi engine type oil with additives to handle both diesel & gas contaminates. So when using diesel oil in a gasoline engine these days you have a choice, do I use a “SN” rated diesel oil with reduced anti wear additives/Zinc, or do I use “C” rated Rottela that only handles diesel contaminates and needs to be changed out more frequently before the gas contaminates start breaking down the oil. The link below will show you an oil analysis explaining the differences in anti wear additives between “SN” rated Delo & “C” rated Rottela. th-cam.com/video/T-yt5a1cWd4/w-d-xo.html
The diesel lube can't deal with varnish? I think The only contaminate that diesel doesn't make as gas is varnish, since diesel makes soot and lacker, but don't make varnish. Varnish are partially burnt gasoline, that collects in form of a polymer of High molecule Weight and are polar with negative charge wich makes It adhere to metal surfaces.
What about dirtbikes with a wet clutch. A lot of dirtbikers use Rotella t4 and t6 (t5 isn't JASO MA/MA2 rated and has moly which makes wet clutch slip).
Project farm said in the video link you posted that T6 was better against acidity and has a better wear package. It won every category according to his test. I roll T6 in my SRT 392 since new and it does great.
You are absolutely correct. Ignorance stops people from using the better oil, especially for older flat tappet engines. The only time there could be an issue is if the vehicle burns a lot of oil then the catalyst might possibly be affected.
My father owns a 4.0 V6 Ford Ranger that developed what I suspect to be a lifter tick at around 215,000 miles. I suggested him to switch to Shell Rotella T6 10w-30 and it greatly suppressed the lifter tap. Engine is still running strong at 230,000+ miles, and although fuel economy is slightly decreased from the thicker oil it is well worth the switch. You simply can’t beat the anti-wear packages in most new diesel oils…
If you have an older car with a flat tappet camshaft I think this is the way to go. Newer oils don't have anywhere near the Zinc content the older oils did. Diesel engine oil still has high content of that and also is very high in detergents.
Try 5quarts of full synthetic 5w-30 Valvoline and a quart of Lucas full synthetic oil stabilizer. Have been running that combo in my 6.0 for 160k and it's the only combo that keeps the valvetrain quiet.
I know an old school guy late 70s he owns an earlier 90s Lincoln Town car he is been using shell rotella t4 since 100k and now its close to 400k and still running like a Champ...
2:36 depends on your application. In some cases the shorter filter will leave more room if you’re running headers and wouldn’t matter much for frequent changes. On daily drivers I would personally go with the larger filter. Hope you have a spare fuel pump.. E >⛽️
Depends on type of engine you have. Some are programmed to use all and some aren’t. 5w40 would be perfect for the winter in subzero temps for gasoline engines. I run delvac 15w40 in my peterbilt
since no one mentioned it, its only bad if you have a catalytic converter, the oil contains ZDDP (a form of zinc) to decrease engine wear, and it will clog a cat over time. thats the only downside.
@The Norse Gamer that’s the funny thing, no matter how perfect your engine is it will consume some amount of oil, it’s designed to. Granted it’s very small but it still does burn oil
Modern Cummins heavy duty truck engines like the X-15 use 10-30 diesel engine oil these days plus diesel fuel contains way less sulphur than it used to back in the day so diesel engines run cleaner and don't need as many additives anymore. Gas and Diesel oils are much closer in specs now.
I can understand that it may work better for people and reduces lifter tick and stuff, but I would still alternate between this and a regular gasoline motor oil. Diesel motor oil isn't held to the same cleanliness standard as gasoline engine oil so it can often cause gunk build up in the engine--esp over a long period of time. So use a regular oil to clean it out if you are really intent on using the diesel oil. Or maybe switch to a heavier weight or a higher additive package oil like using Pennzoil Ultra plat synth instead of just plat synth.
You could also just use your manufacturer suggested and add zinc. that is the ingredient that EPA took away from gasoline engine oils that is missing. Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement. rislone makes it. it is 10 bucks though.
I have an 06 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 and started using diesel oil at 175,000 miles now has 230,000 and haul a 20' trailer with a bobcat skidsteer and no issues
Disel engine oil and gas engine oil is exactly the same thing except for one part disel engines produce soot which the oil traps gas engines turn oil into acid over time that's why breakdown happens if maintenance is not done when needed no problem using disel oil on a gas engines just have to replace the oil a bit more sooner than intended
You should see the hot debates on the air cooled Porsche forums and other vintage car sites requiring higher zinc and phosphorus levels to protect flat tapet cams on older cars. All gasoline oils have been on a diet of reduced zddp since the 90's and the current is SN and newest SP. Since the 70's, 15W40 was the go to for older air cooled Porsche 911's and other vintage cars. Back then, 15W40 has both diesel and gas rated. Fast foward to today and all 15W40's dropped the gasoline rating and only rate for diesel CJ-4, CK-4 since gasoline SN, SP only allowed to have up to 800 ppm in zinc in lower viscosity ratings. Lower zinc oil of 700-800 was due to the required mandate to protect catalytic converters however it's been proven that having 1200 or less ppm in zinc oil does not harm the catalytic converter and 1100-1200 ppm in zinc is the perfect amount to protect flat tapet cams. I've looked at all the entire Shell Rotella line and ironically only T5 blend 15W40 is the only one with molybdenum where as T4 and Synthetic T6 doesn't have it.
Welllllllll !!!! I've heard a guy ask. on a talk show, if he should stop running his engine after draining oil for a change to be sure and get all of the old oil out!! It was then I realized I'm not the dullest tool in the shed!!!!
just got a 99 jeep xj with 222k on it. quite no noise nothing. did a oil change put Rotella t4 15w30 and now have a lifter tick. only drove 5 miles so don't know what happened. next week when i get paid oil change back to factory oil. don't want to screw my 4.0L up.
I run Delo 400 diesel oil in my dirtbike for years and years and never have had a problem. I can buy a gallon of it for cheap and not those quarts of dirtbike oil that are expensive.
I have a 2005 Mercedes e320 gasoline engine I'm going to use this t6 15w40 because it quite the lifters I know a lot of people using it with no problem I have 200k miles and counting 😀
How have you found the oil since you changed it? Does the engine seem to run quieter? Have you done any oil analysis done by any chance? Keen to know. Thanks man. btw, love the video!
Hot oil is thin. Lol green mandates are killing engines.0w20,0w16 sucks in hot weather. I used thicker oil and it wore out the running geer at over 350000 on my off road farmy rigs! Lol my 2018 just got its first 5w30 syn with soot in muffler! Lucas in gas will cure it soon! in gas
My brother in law used 15/40 rotela in his 350 gas chev truck 98 model he had a head gasket fail-or. he asked me to rebuild it I found all the cam and main bearing all heat scored and the film had come off them and he is not hard on vehicles. So there is some thing to consider, to heavy of weight ? no sling rate ?
What oil should I run in my 2003 Chevy Tahoe? Right now it takes 5w-30 regular oil. So if I switch to diesel oil should it still be 5w-30?? Please help me decide sir??
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 thankfully not I caught it shortly after and drained it but I still felt like a fuckin moron, dont do oil changes while sleep deprived lol
Honda motors are 5W20. At 200K due to the daughter running all the oil out on a 400 mile trip I now mix 5W20 and 5W30 (50/50) and with new coils oil consumption is way down and the VTec values like it OK. Heavy oils are not friendly to the Honda VTec motors.
I am considering using Rotella T4 10W30 oil or traveler 10W40 it's just freaking ridiculous over $20 plus for oil. 212,000 and my 300 don't leak or burn oil don't need high mileage or synthetic

My 2.0T VW's have even stopped scoring my fuel pump cam follower and theyve stopped burning a half litre of oil every 3500kms This stuff is literally the end all be all oil IMHO.... I literally won't change your oil for you in my home shop unless you use T6.....

Theres nothing wrong.. instead its even better to use hdeo in gasoline cars. Ive been using it for years, engine internal is clean, the performance is smooth. If you're using it for the 1st time.. let it run for first 1k km.. after that u should see the difference, in term of performance and how light your engine feels. Been using shell rimula R6 for years, now changed to Duron fully synthetic.

Disel engine oil and gas engine oil is exactly the same thing except for one part disel engines produce soot which the oil traps gas engines turn oil into acid over time that's why breakdown happens if maintenance is not done when needed no problem using disel oil on a gas engines just have to replace the oil a bit more sooner than intended
You should see the hot debates on the air cooled Porsche forums and other vintage car sites requiring higher zinc and phosphorus levels to protect flat tapet cams on older cars. All gasoline oils have been on a diet of reduced zddp since the 90's and the current is SN and newest SP. Since the 70's, 15W40 was the go to for older air cooled Porsche 911's and other vintage cars. Back then, 15W40 has both diesel and gas rated. Fast foward to today and all 15W40's dropped the gasoline rating and only rate for diesel CJ-4, CK-4 since gasoline SN, SP only allowed to have up to 800 ppm in zinc in lower viscosity ratings. Lower zinc oil of 700-800 was due to the required mandate to protect catalytic converters however it's been proven that having 1200 or less ppm in zinc oil does not harm the catalytic converter and 1100-1200 ppm in zinc is the perfect amount to protect flat tapet cams. I've looked at all the entire Shell Rotella line and ironically only T5 blend 15W40 is the only one with molybdenum where as T4 and Synthetic T6 doesn't have it.
Have you had any current updates?has your engine had any other problems?
next video, what would happen if you put gasoline oil in a diesel engine. lol
Of course you can, been doing it for YEARS. Shell Rotella T 15w40
Yeah....outside noise sucks. Do your thing.
Beautiful Truck 🤙
Been using delo for decades. Can't beat it.
I've been running T6 5/40 Rotella for 3 years in my Ram Eco Diesel. I don't see any reason can't run it in a gas motor.
Welllllllll !!!! I've heard a guy ask. on a talk show, if he should stop running his engine after draining oil for a change to be sure and get all of the old oil out!! It was then I realized I'm not the dullest tool in the shed!!!!
just got a 99 jeep xj with 222k on it. quite no noise nothing. did a oil change put Rotella t4 15w30 and now have a lifter tick. only drove 5 miles so don't know what happened. next week when i get paid oil change back to factory oil. don't want to screw my 4.0L up.
That gmc you have there , what leveling kit ? Great video BTW looking to convert over to oils .
It's got all the vitamins and dinosaurs a flat tappet needs 😁🤘
I run Delo 400 diesel oil in my dirtbike for years and years and never have had a problem. I can buy a gallon of it for cheap and not those quarts of dirtbike oil that are expensive.
My dad has always used Delo 400 in his trucks.
@@EndlessWishlist Nice, It works great and I use it on clutch side and gear side of bike because it has split cases.
I have a 2005 Mercedes e320 gasoline engine I'm going to use this t6 15w40 because it quite the lifters I know a lot of people using it with no problem I have 200k miles and counting 😀
I use Rotella T6 15W/40 in my Honda mower, John Deere S100, pressure washers and generators. It seems to work quite well!
I use shell Rimula R4X 15w40 Diesel engine oil in my petrol generator. No problem
How have you found the oil since you changed it? Does the engine seem to run quieter? Have you done any oil analysis done by any chance? Keen to know. Thanks man. btw, love the video!
T6 5/40 Rotella doesn't have as much additives like some other full synthetic. It's has detergent
Diesel Rated engine oil is Same as Reg Oil with just Extra Additives And Yes you can use it in a Gas Engine !!
Hot oil is thin. Lol green mandates are killing engines.0w20,0w16 sucks in hot weather. I used thicker oil and it wore out the running geer at over 350000 on my off road farmy rigs! Lol my 2018 just got its first 5w30 syn with soot in muffler! Lucas in gas will cure it soon! in gas
Higher in detergents made for higher compression
My brother in law used 15/40 rotela in his 350 gas chev truck 98 model he had a head gasket fail-or. he asked me to rebuild it I found all the cam and main bearing all heat scored and the film had come off them and he is not hard on vehicles. So there is some thing to consider, to heavy of weight ? no sling rate ?
I kno vortex chevy so close on tolerance when new 15 40 will seize moter
We all run that shit in our dirt bikes ,my 4 cylinder cars ,pick ups ,lawn mower
Best channel name ever!
I use the T6 in my 84 200sx, with a mild built 302 swap I like the range the viscosity has. I don't drive the car in michigan winter though
Biggest concern is the amount of detergents in Diesel engine oil.
Has been using it for long time on gasoline engine. No problem. I am using shell rimula r5.
And now they have a 10W-30 in the T6
That's funny. Didn't know they made a liquid cam. 🤣
Him: I love Diesel engine oil in my gas engine.
Also Him: I wonder why my gas engine sounds like a diesel engine now..🤣🤣🤣
what?
So deisel oil with a high flow k&N filter would be a good combo. Just a guess. I wouldnt know for sure.
Can I use diesel oil on my Petrol engine????
Are you using the T6 Rotella 5w40 or have you changed to something else.
What oil should I run in my 2003 Chevy Tahoe? Right now it takes 5w-30 regular oil. So if I switch to diesel oil should it still be 5w-30?? Please help me decide sir??
I accidentally threw 15w30 into a car that takes 5w20 I can't explain how much I wanna jump off a bridge
Did it damaged something?
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 thankfully not I caught it shortly after and drained it but I still felt like a fuckin moron, dont do oil changes while sleep deprived lol
Honda motors are 5W20. At 200K due to the daughter running all the oil out on a 400 mile trip I now mix 5W20 and 5W30 (50/50) and with new coils oil consumption is way down and the VTec values like it OK. Heavy oils are not friendly to the Honda VTec motors.
@@vincentrolfe1384 running oil out ? Sounds like i got a leak or ur burning oil lol
I am considering using Rotella T4 10W30 oil or traveler 10W40 it's just freaking ridiculous over $20 plus for oil. 212,000 and my 300 don't leak or burn oil don't need high mileage or synthetic
T6 is great stuff. What was the oil psi comparison?
That's a beautiful truck ! Well worth doing katzkin leather heated/cooled in that bad girl
best thing you can do for that engine!
I put diesel oil in my turbo brat..💪👍
Mr car work with CNG and it is my first time to use diesel oil for it. Is it right???
Yes sir ive been knowing friends using it on there 92-95 f150 and im going to try it what do i got to lose its already old n messing up! 😎👍💯
I use rotella in my Ford 390.
My truck takes 5w30 but I needed oil and I put 15w40 will it hurt my motor
people love t6 in motorbikes too, it IS JASO rated
Yours is chevy 😎👍💯 awsome because im fixing my ford to sale it n become the chevy man i was raised to be ! 😎👍💯🔥
I've been running Rotella t6 in my 2004 5.4L Triton with almost 500,000kms on its clock (i locked out my cam phasers eons ago and upgraded the timing guides and tensioners too boot many years ago), ecoboosts, my vw's both gas and diesel, my tractor, my motorcycle, my side by side, my lawn mowers... etc etc I've done a PLETHORA of laboratory tested oil samples and everything has been coming up roses for years and years.... My 2.0T VW's have even stopped scoring my fuel pump cam follower and theyve stopped burning a half litre of oil every 3500kms This stuff is literally the end all be all oil IMHO.... I literally won't change your oil for you in my home shop unless you use T6.....
I use extra virgin olive oil.
did you ever analyze the oil ....did the truck run good on the rotella ...are you still using it
Still using it.
I looked for video but never found it
I run t 1 in my international harvestor trucks both gas runs great cleans and low amount of blo by and high In zinc , and look up spec between the t6 the t 5 better oil now in my sbc 350 s I run schaffers full synthetic , way better than mobile 1! 4 oil changes later 2 Schafer oil takes 1 quart 3200 miles mobile 1 same rig 750 miles a quart u tell me also Schaffer has a bunch of zinc about 1800 so great 4 flat tappet cam
Love your engines expert wife shoutting you
That what i uses in gas engin i figure good for big rig so no isue
I use T4 in my damn Prius. Lolol
What did you wrap your intake with
Theres nothing wrong.. instead its even better to use hdeo in gasoline cars. Ive been using it for years, engine internal is clean, the performance is smooth. If you're using it for the 1st time.. let it run for first 1k km.. after that u should see the difference, in term of performance and how light your engine feels. Been using shell rimula R6 for years, now changed to Duron fully synthetic.
Next a Cummings swap to go with the oil.
the truck will be just fine...regular oil changes is key
BTW, nothing wrong with Amsoil other than being overpriced.
I put Amsoil in a 10K mile old big 6 cylinder BMW and immediately I notice oil consumption so I went back to Shell 10W30.
Dad uses it in everything from the semi down to the mower
Try 30 w synthetic gear lube. It works to!!
