Default Re: Detergent oil

Alittle info on rotella.... in my experience it has the best lubricating value of any oil, I had a certified mechanic tell me once that he ran into a problem with it lubricating too well and bypassing the scraper ring and the engine lost compression and he had to do a top end flush on the engine, but ive never seen it happen myself
But I can tell you I use it in my dodge cummins, all of my equipment, and my grandfather used it in his big rigs for over 30 years in the coalfield's and the motors looked as good as new after miles of diesel soot accumulating in the oil and it never lost its lubricatin value....
In my opinion if you want superb lubrication I would go with it, I even plan on putting it in mine when I get to that stage in the checklist
