Rotella? - TundraTalk.net

Possum · 07-03-2008, 06:12 AM

I've been prowling the motorcycle forums re: oil. Lots of info and love for Shell's Rotella, Amsoil and Mobil 1. Rotella sounds like good stuff and WallyWorld has it for cheap. Any thoughts or experience?

I thought Rotella was a diesel oil?

Rotella is a diesel oil, or extreme use gasoline oil. It just has extra additives that reduces breakdown and wear at elevated temperatures. I run Rotella SAE30W in my bug year round (even when 120deg outside). These additives in Rotella, are the same as what Porsche recommended for their air-cooled cars.

I Used It In My Diesel, Great Oil. Not Sure If It Comes In The Correct Weight For A Tundra
