Facts shell rotella T6 only! In my Nissan 350z
True.
And I love 350s
Yes. you're right
I use blue jug T6 5W-40 in all HD applications. What's with the WHITE jug shown? Is that Canada?
Yes it is.
We have 0w40 5w40 and 15w40 in t6
5w40 is my pick
Thanks for coming by
I run T4 and T5 in my om642 diesel engine with stock DPF. Stopped burning oil once I switched.
Thanks for posting… Hope people read this and it can help them
I use T6 5W-40 in my Side by Sides & 4Wheelers (bc it's JASO rated) I use in generators, lawnmowers & pressure washers. It's great stuff 👌
I agree. I also use it in everything
I was wondering myself. I have a generator that still is being broke in, has like 5 hrs on it. Been using 10w30 oil in it. I've heard about this t6 5w40 oil, didn't know I could use this
@@StepuptothatRotella t6 füll Synthetic is available in 10w-30. It's kinda hard to find in retail though. My local Walmart has it. The winter viscosity is always the thing you should worry about.
I’m running the same Rotella T6 5w40 in my Supercharged Mach 1. Great oil!
That’s awesome… I can’t believe how good this oil is. When I put it in my motorcycles they shift like butter even at high RPMs
You sound like me, I put T6 in everything down to my lawn mower, my wife almost has to stop me from putting in my salad,, I have a Ram 3500 a Cat 257b and a 1975 fj40 Landcruiser, plus some other toys.
I absolutely love the stuff… Cars trucks motorcycles lawnmowers snow blowers… Everything gets it here…. The salad comment made me laugh
I use this oil in my jeep, 4wheeler, and all my small engines.
That is awesome… I use it and everything I own also I hope you stick around with the channel
Are you still using t 6 in your atv and if so how is it doing with it just wondering please I'm thinking about putting it in my atv 🥸
My honda is still running strong. It's 2015 honda Rubicon. It's a great bike, not the fastest but she has pull 2 can ams back off the trails so far.
@@John-e4u Should be fine. I used it in my 2002 Honda Shadow 750 (cruiser style bike, v-twin engine, 7500RPM redline) and it worked great with the engine/transmission and clutch. No issues shifting or anything.
But that was years ago. I think you want your oil to have the JASO spec? It's required for wet clutch set ups. I'd make sure it's still carrying that spec. There's also T6 15W-40. For whatever reason, the T6 15W-40 has more "specs" passed than the 5W-40, but the 5W-40 has certain specs that mean it would also pass the ones they didn't pay to have tested.
I just "prefer" the T6 5W-40 over the T6 15W-40, but really, the cold start difference isn't as much as you'd think. Lemme rephrase that. The viscosity at 40C isn't that different. 40C isn't cold by any means, though. So, I'm sure the 5W-40 is much better when it's 30F and below than the 15W-40.
The heavier W40 weight is better for turbos, older cars high mileage, and diesels. And diesel oils have way more cleanser additives than any gas engine oil including amsoil, lucas, pennzoil platinum which cost a lot.
For my vw tdi a bulletin was put out long ago to stop using 5w30 as was causing wear and broken camshafts . So I switched to T6 5w40, then started using it too in my old Yukon xl 5.3L with high miles to stay off the dreaded bad lifters and to clean carbon build up of an old engine.
It’s amazing how well that oil works.
It’s funny you say that about bad lifters also because I recommend that oil to my LS friends.
Thanks for coming by
I used to use this in my VW GTI (high mileage) & have been considering it for my Q5 TDI (only 60k).
So far I’ve been using what Audi recommends.
Thoughts?
If it was me I would do it
Somebody recommended me to run this type of oil for my 06 Chevy Silverado says it could possibly stop my ticking situation I’m curious would it mess up anything motor wise ?
I know lots of people that use it in the pick up trucks to stop or help out with lifter tick.
I’m my opinion I can’t see it messing up anything in your engine at all… If anything it will really clean it out and protect it from your lifters going bad.
I drive a 07 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.0T (FSI/GDI) that has 290K
I have exclusively ran Castrol Edge Euro oil 5w 40 since I replaced the engine with a yard motor at about 140K miles.
I recently changed to Rotella after considering the temps and pressures diesels run at, as well as the detergent capabilities of diesel oil.
So far I am extremely impressed with ZERO oil loss over 1500 miles. Normal and acceptable oil consumption on the FI engines is 1 liter per 1,000km
No oil loss. None.
That is awesome and thank you for posting this because hopefully others will read it and it might help them… Thanks again and I’m glad it worked out for you
The main problem with your scenario is it is common knowledge that diesel oils are less heat tolerant than gas blends and they have much lower film strength as well. You need to come up with some better talking points.
Use it in my 86 F-150 5.0 EFI and my Husqavarna Z254 with the 23HP Kawasaki. I use it in anything I can. T6 5W-40 is an exceptional oil. It rejuvenated the seals in my 86 F-150, slowed consumption from a quart every 800 miles to maybe half a quart every 2000 miles if that? That's after 8 years of using it in it. It just got better an better. No leaks where I park anymore.
Has high zinc/phosphorous which I wanted for my engine since it has a flat tappet cam. Sure, it's a super mild/stock flat tappet cam, but it's STILL a flat tappet cam. I've ran this truck HARD. I've towed and hauled thousands of pounds at a time. I've done loads of 4x4 off road mudding. I've been WOT thousands of times in it lmao.
Sure it's got the NP435 4-speed with low/NP208 transfer case/9" rear end/Dana 44 IFS and I've got 31x10.50 15" Goodyear Wrangler Authorities on it. So it's not like I'm out here spinning 35"+ tires, but still, this truck has every bulletproof thing you can put in an F-150 from those times. It's an F-150 XLT Lariat single cab short wheel base... so it just goes anywhere offroad. Do I wish I had a 351w? No, but only because I like the 80-86 body and the 351w didn't go EFI until 88, so I actually make more power than a 1986 351w. Torque and usable torque are probably a different story.
But ya gotta love that simple SD computer and the reliable EFI. It starts if it's 100F or -10F. I've NEVER had an issue out of this truck. NEVER. 160k miles. I did change the timing gears/chain to a steel set up so I've got another 200k+ left for sure. Is the 5.0 EFI powerful? Hell no. 185 horsepower/275 ft-lbs torque.
But it'll still pull anything. 6.69:1 first gear gets you rolling lol. And offroad, 4x4 low combined with 1st gear means you can just creep down steep hills at like .5mph without touching the brakes.
I love the old thing.
Wait, this is about oil, not a truck.
I'll see myself out.
I love the sounds of your truck… And
I agree about speed density… It’s sad that here where I live the salt eats away all the old trucks
Cool read
Thanks
@@theburnoutbox9736 Yeah, I really don't see old vehicles on the roads today like I did just ten years ago. No more 302/351w or 350 sbc powered vehicles. Shoot, not even 4.6 2v vehicles.
Everyone has something new now lol. And we don't even have the salt on the road problem around here.
2010 Forester. I had the classic morning piston slap. After 18 months of using a HDEO the slap went away. I went back to a synthetic 5w-30 for years now and the slap hasn't returned. The only thing I can think is that the rings were getting sticky and the detergents freed them up.
I have actual seen this before with Toyotas also
Thanks for coming by
*I hear have heard many people using this stuff. its really interesting to me. I have been doing research on it to see how it will work with my gas engine daily driver. Great video by the way. I have had one of those caravan and those things do work . I used mine like a truck and always had the seat down doing work with it !!!*
I’m usually quite hard on my vehicles and I’m telling you Rotella T6 has really come through for me. I’m glad the video help you out
I heard for years to use rotella and never knew way. But i tried it the past few years in my gas and diesel . And with the gas i have noticed that its cleaner. But i also only use wix filters.
I always believe in using good filters… You were wise to do so. I love Rotella and I use it in absolutely everything I own. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment, I appreciate it
The synthetics are definitely better, hopefully just a stuck thermostat, any issues after you removed it ?
Ya
Air bubbles in the rad
Head gasket lol
@@theburnoutbox9736- So it is going to retire now then ?
For some reason I just got this now… Definitely it’s not retiring
Hey I don’t know is anyone will respond or don’t know how to answer this but does anyone recommend she’ll rotella t6 5w-30 in a 4.6 3v
I’ve used it in three valve 4.6
I use it in my two valve 4.6 and will be using it very soon in my Godzilla 7.3
Sometimes it can clog cats if it burns oil… But if it burns oil you have more problems than that lol
I also use it in my 5.4 in my truck with great experiences… No engine damage and I beat that thing pulling
Let me know what you decide
Hey fellas question is good change my regular oil 5w30 to 5w30 rotela t6?
Rotella T6 is in 5w40
What kind of car do you drive
@theburnoutbox9736 my sister car is a nissan juke 1.6 turbo
If it’s not burning oil and not under any warranty I would say it would be safe for it. That oil will do a good job protecting the turbo also. I’ve put it in a lot of turbo engines with great results
@theburnoutbox9736 thanks man !!! I changed the oil and now let see the results.
It's even a great alternative to Astro glide
lol ewww
Use to put rotella 5-40 in my 98 blazer
Absolutely love that stuff
T6 is definitely awesome oil.
It certainly is. I use it in absolutely everything
The best and only oil I'll ever put in my mk4 golf tdi
Perfect oil for your vehicle
Shell makes a 5W-30 Rotella T6 that is safe for gas cars with cats.
I have had no problem using the Rotella T6 with catalytic converter‘s as long as the engine doesn’t burn oil
Even my friends Toyota Corolla which consumed a little bit of oil, he still ran T6 without any problem… You’re going to have to make that decision if it’s for you
If you were nervous about 5W40 rotella They do make a 0W 40 that is more gas engine friendly if your car consumes oil
I've used t6 in my 09 Silverado 2500 HD Gasser since it was new, it has 266k miles now and I haven't had an issue with clogged cats. I run the t6 in everything from my hotrods to lawnmowers, ATVs, motorcycles. Literally everything except my wife's Lexus which calls 0w20.
I have a scion xb 1.5 will try it soon.. you ever hear anyone use in a small suv
Yeah, I have friends that use them in their little SUVs
The Burnout Box always make great videos 👍
Thank you so much
I wanna put it in my small block Chevy tbi
Do it…. My friend runs it in his TBI truck with great success
The full synthetic t6 oil shouldnt cause catalytic converter clogs. Its a low ash oil.
Yeah, that’s the good part but some of the ad pack isn’t optimal for cats… Then again no oil is optimal for cats is it lol
Thanks for coming by… I do appreciate it
I have a 2018 dodge caravan that requires 5w-20. Can i use 5w-40?
I have a 2005 caravan that is supposed to take 5w20 and I use the 5w 40
@@theburnoutbox9736 nice! How long have you been using it? Since the oil is thicker, do notice slower acceleration?
I got the van with around 70,000 and now I’m at 450,000… I do not notice any difference in acceleration and I used that motor oil in everything I own
@@theburnoutbox9736 sold!
👍👍
I use it in my 02 Lexus IS300
Awesome
Thinking about using the T6 in my Yamaha raptor 660 quad
A few of my friends have started running T6 in their quad and side x sides. They love it
I run it in my 700xx and it’s a wet clutch…never felt better.
@@dbworldwide9846 that's what I went with. Works great 👍
Can I add it on my F150 2010 5.4 ?? It’s ticking like a typewriter … ?? Anyone please help
You can add it but I don’t know if it will help that engine
Usually a tick like a bad tick is oil pressure and the lifters not pumping up although it could be timing chain
I’m sorry it’s hard to tell with just a description but I use rotella t6 5W 40 in my f150 with the 5.4
@@theburnoutbox9736 then I’m dumping it in ! If it blows up I’ll replace the motor ! Hoooraaa
@@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777updates?
Im thinking about running this in my 6.4 powerstroke.
*15W40
You can get 15w40 T6 also
My buddy ran it in his 6.4 power stroke He sold it at 550,000 K
@theburnoutbox9736 Bet. I'll order a filter tonight. Thanks! Any tips on oil additives?
