What is RP? My tranny is getting hard to get in gear in cold weather:confused:

Rotella T, every 2000-2500 miles.. I pull alot, and make lots of smoke. This breaks down the oil rather quickly.

I would run the schaffers or amsoil if there was a dealer in okla city, but I have this thing with paying freight on a product you will be dumping on a regular basis.

Just did the first service since I bought the truck used with 25k on it. Serviced the motor with Shell Rotella T 15-40 and man don't it stink:fart!!!! Will probably service again before the weather gets good and cold, and switch to Rotella t syn 5-30. The old man is gonna get his Amsoil dealer ship back so he can do his equipment with that, so I'll Probably switch to Amsoil through out in the spring:Thumbs Up
