Default Re: Synthetic Oil

Terry, the oil type "Rotella" is undoubtedly a good oil. But it is mainly tuned to diesel engines. Diesel fuel (say kerosene?) has good cleaning properties and corrosion protection, but forms a lot of soot. Therefore, Rotella oils have a little less corrosion protection and a little more detergent.

Another advantage is that the combustion residues carbon remain relatively soft.

You do not do anything wrong with your A-machine, the engine will drive so long like with an other premium oil. But there are modern oils with more benefit.

(Remark: I have to say now that I developed the synthetic "AeroSynth" oil. Therefore I'm not neutral, so I prefer synthesis oils because of the belief.)
