If you are referring to syn to non syn I don't see why not as long as your motor is 'happy' with it, more or less its the right oil/weight.

It is meant to be pretty good that lucas stuff. I noticed the use of diesel oils is popular in the states in petrol engines. Its quite funny actually, here in Aus people fret at the idea.My Father works as a tribologist and he tells me all about
oils. We run diesel oil in in most things, passenger cars, dirtbikes. It has no friction modifiers and is made to meet higher standards and undergoes rigorous testing. And it seems that message has spread through the forums.

Rotella isnt available here but we have rimula. Does anyone know the difference?

10-40 non syn Castrol GTX and Wix filters every 1500 miles. I've got some RP but after hearing all the negative stuff about it I'm chucking that crap and sticking w/ GTX. May have to try some of that Rotella stuff when I get back stateside.
