Rotella 5W40 synthetic?
Anyone ever used this? I can't find any more 5W40 M1 around here. I alwasys used Rotella in my Cummins when I had my truck, but never in anything else so far. It can't be too bad, and like $14 a gallon.

on a side not, I was reading in Hot Rods latest issue discussing various oils for engines running Flat Tappet lifters and cams. The labled rotella as an ideal engine oil for such High Performance Gas powered engines so that goes against it jus being for diesels, it was based on the additives within the oil.
dont know if that helps you or not but....
