I'm with you, i have been using rotella t for 30 yrs but from now on i'm using Valvoline Blue.
You're kidding. Rotella T is one of the best ones out their, the heavy trucking industry has been using it for years. Many of those oils are not even on an equal playing field, Castrol GTX Diesel is for diesel cars and light pickups, it's not even rated for heavy trucks which some of the others are. One of the REAL Castrol heavy diesel engine rated oils comparable to Rotella T, Delo, is RX Super 15-40. And most all heavy diesels, including smaller diesels require 15-40wt, and one of his favorites is the 5-40.

What say you, Believer 45, you've been in the industry quite a while?
