Is rotella T 5w-40 reasonable in the G rather than mobil1 5w-30?

let me be the first to say.... what the hell is ROTELLA T???

2003 G35C -soon to be moded-
2001 BB6 -moded-

TRACK TIME ... THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!

 

let me guess rotella T makes oil.

 

is that some kind of Spanish/Italian oil?

 

that made me think of a greasy italian squeezing the oil out his hair into a funnel. haha!

Rotella T was originally designed for heavy duty diesel engines in semis, tanks, etc. I don't think I'd use it in the G. Diesels have a tendency to run a bit cooler than an internal combustion engine. (If you idle a diesel it will actually cool down, where other motors may tend to over heat) I'd think it might be more susceptible to break down.

 

John - I'd rather not see you run Rotella in your G. I work for Shell ( Rotella's one of our brands ) & Carnut's right. Rotella is designed more for industrial engines. Nothing wrong with Mobil 1, Redline or Royal Purple ( my personal choice ) if U're considering a synthetic.
