New synthetic

[cowboytueller]

Hey guys I just put Rotella 5w-40 in the ok girl and it all seems well no leaks no weird noises. This is the first time this engine has had synthetic in it. What should I look out for? Does anyone else have this oil in their engines?

It would probably take a few hundred miles before any leaks showed up. (If they were indeed caused by your oil choice)

I thought most people said their engines seem to burn through it??

Are you sure you got the rotella T6???

 

[cowboytueller]

Oh yeah I'm sure I got T6 lol I paid the price

Just making sure.

I don't know about the synthetic, but I know for sure a few people here run the rotella with good results.

I do know my bosses N15? Cummins leaks it (non synthetic) like crazy. But I think that's just from poor maintenance and repair.

Before I switched to synthetic I was using Rotella 15-40 it was leak free

Then you should be fine.

I don't really buy the whole "synthetic caused a leak" line.
I would think synthetic would rejuvenate seals.

After several hours of oil based world war III on forums, I slapped the rotella synthetic in my truck. I'm a bit concerned, but will see how it does. May switch back to 15w40 later. Previously had Mobil in it.

T6 is a good oil!

I ran it one winter in my truck and it worked well. Truck started way easier and I didn't have any problems with leaks.

Mine drank that t6 like it was free! I went from a qt in 800-1000 miles to a gallon!

Sometimes people have very strong core beliefs. When they are presented with evidence that works against that core belief, The New evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called Cognitive Dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief. Frantz Fanon

Every conventional oil manufacture today sells a version of Synthetic oil, yet 15 years ago the offered NOTHING! Why buy Synthetic from AMETEURS?

N14- it's basically an electronic version of the 855

Castrol Syntec, on its label, "exceeds" every standard it mentions. Hmm. Now that the meaning of "is" is in play, I have to wonder, does Syntec meet those standards as well?

"It does," says Castrol's Juli Anne Oberg. While I have her on the phone, I ask if there will be a Syntec price reduction now that a lower-cost base stock has been substituted for the old synthetic. She says no.

I was going to put 14, but had a last minute mind change.
Couldn't remember for surw.
