ROTELLA T

[tazracing]

Has anyone ever used rotella t oil from shell in there race car.

[suicidebomb]

I've used it.

[henny]

It was recomended for me to use in my motor when I fired it up for the first time by my engine builder
Good for anti scuff properties apparently

[kwkracing]

i run it in all my diesel trucks, i love it. I tried it in my blown street car and i did not like it It, seemed like the 15w 40 was too thin for the engine as soon as the oil got warm. I do mix rotella and normal motor oil on all break ins', then run valvoline racing oil.

That is all I run in my 422sbc. There is suppose to be like 4x the protective stuff in there... :)

Rotella T is for Diesel engines NOT gasoline

Side note, on another forum a few months back there was a guy who sent in a bunch of oils to be tested, VR1 Valvoline came back with the best results. I've been using it for years.

Iv been running it in my race car for years and never had a problem .

I like it myself

I have had excellent results with Brad Penn. This oil comes highly recommended by cam manufacturers for use with flat tappet cams. The oval track alcohol injected guys swear by it.

i use penn. 25w 50, i like it alot better than rotella.fyi i heard(don't know if it's true) rotella doesn't have the anti-scuff in it anymore

I have to been using vr1 20/50. One of the engine builder around my area
said you pick some from the lighter oil and to use rotella t. thats why i asked. I have a deal with my local advance auto that only pay 2.50 per ot
for the vr1.

I switch to the vr1 10/30 if I want to pick up a few, usually .05 faster then the 20/50.

Royal Purple is making a new "BREAK IN" oil that is loaded with that anti scuff stuff, suppose to be more of that "STUFF" than anybody else's.
Great news for flat tappet engines wanting a decent break in oil but really not necessary for soild rollers IMO.
here's a link: http://www.royalpurple.com/breakin-oil-rh.html

Personally, I use castrol 20w50 it doesnt cost a arm and a leg and I have never had a oil related break down - I'm fixing to swith to a lighter oil since it's really cooled down here my area.

I always ran 15w40 Rottella T in my alcohol car. It has zinc in it for my roller cam and I could always get a few extra runs out of before it was to dilluted.

[streetracerjts]

Rotella says for Gasoline and Diesel engines right on the bottle.

[locomotion]

I purchased some of the older conventional Valvoline 15w-40 diesel oil for break-in. But even diesel oil has been getting the zinc taken out of it bit by bit. It's been difficult to keep up-to-date with the latest formulations unless someone send it out for testing. But afterwards, I use one of Amsoil's thinner thinner oils. They have several that specifically say they have high zinc content, particularly for flat tappet cams, including a new line of "Dominator" racing oils.
