Ive been using this oil on my Subaru for over 10years now. Currently mileage @230k miles There has been a shortage recently of T6, And I may need to use an alternative 1/2022
I run it in my drag truck, Holds up to the heat and RPS for the whole season.
We run it in gasoline-powered endurance race cars now. Same protection as Mobil1 0-40 we used to run, but way cheaper and more available. Once had a car come in with a badly warped head, no coolant, and boiling oil (coolant hose burst and the driver didn't notice) - over 10 minutes out on track without coolant! Still kept the rods in, no hard parts got damaged. Highly recommended! I use it in street diesels and my motorcycles, too - also works great there.
Anyone with a Ford 6.0 PowerStroke who lives in a climate where it gets below freezing knows the engine makes knocking noises and is loud & unresponsive when the engine is started in cold weather if the block heater has not been plugged in. With synthetic Rotella T6, though, the engine is much quieter, and does not require as much warm-up time as compared to using conventional oil. Even if one uses a block heater at home, most people don't have that luxury to keep their truck plugged in while at work. It sure makes the drive home quieter and faster, not having to let the engine warm up as much before hitting the road
I have a 2016 F250 with the 6.7L Diesel motor and I use Rotella T6 every 6K miles. I use the truck to tow a two horse trailer and it never has any issue with getting hot or excessive fuel consumption. At the oil change interval I inspect the oil coming out of the oil pan and it still has a good viscosity to it as well as it doesn't smell burnt. I will continue to use this oil until I either get a new truck or the tires fall of this one!
I have been using this oil in my 1998 Honda F6 Valkyrie Tourer for 6 years now, and have had no issues with clutch operation. Even at full throttle with the big 6 cylinder engine, no clutch slippage. Also, the notorious Valkyrie top gear whine was a lot quieter immediately after the first oil change. It's also priced a lot cheaper than the competing oils, a nice added bonus. I don't hesitate to change the oil when I should, when the price is about half of other high end or OEM oils. It's available at many local retailers, so, it's easy to obtain. I wish it was available in other weights like 5W20. I would use it my 2010 F150 5.4L if I could, because it's really not that much more expensive than conventional oil.
I've been using shell rotella t6 5w40 for about a year now and this oil is awesome! Run it in my 1994 jeep grand Cherokee 4.0l and my 1991 Volvo 740 turbo and the engines love it they run alot smoother and quieter and shell rotella t6 5w40 is my first choice for my vehicles for the protection of the internal parts of my engines and to keep them running strong and running long!
I have a 17 year old Volvo TAMD41P-A diesel in my 31' recreational trawler. Prior engine oils for the prior owner (11 years) and me have been 15-40 dino oils, until I switched to full synthetic engine oil, also 15-40. Operating temperature dropped 5 degrees at standard cruising RPM of 1800 to 2200 (only one of two thermostats in place most of that time), the engine runs quieter and more smoothly. Based on research I have found, I know that my engine is running cleaner, with other attributes of reduced internal corrosion, less wear, etc. After installing 2 new thermostats, the engine runs precisely on specification for operating temperature through the full range of RPM, right up to wide open throttle, 3800 (end of the day 10 minute spike to clean the exhaust system ). Further, smoke when starting is greatly diminished to almost zero. I am completely satisfied that I am doing all that I can to accomplish optimal engine performance and protection with Rotella T6 over the last two years, and I am comfortable recommending Rotella T6 to boating friends with diesels, confident in the cost/benefit of using the best oil quality, grade and viscosity for my application.
Iv ran a few different oils in my race bikes and ever since the switch from A recommendation from my father that has a gold wing with 90,000 miles no issues my race engines show very very minimal wear and tear in between seasons
I have a Kawasaki 1500, model year 2000. I switched to this oil because someone with a similar motorcycle tried it and liked it. Major reason for me switching to this is because it was a full synthetic and very reasonably priced compared to other full synthetic motorcycle oils. I've put on 2000 miles since my oil change and I have started to notice severe clutch slippage. At first it was barely noticeable but as of right now, I have a hard time getting on the interstate without it slipping. Now, whether it is due to the recent oil change or some other Factor, I'm not sure if I would recommend this oil for anyone to use in a wet clutch motorcycle or not.
