Great oil

Would Recommend

I switched to Rotella 2 years ago and the results are clearly visible. Used in motocross bikes clutches last longer and trans gears show much less wear. Really good product.

The best

Would Recommend

I have been running shell oil since I bought my duramax in 2002, the truck has been used for construction in northern Alberta in the oilfield it’s entire life. Big trailers, -30C morning starts, working lots of hours , Shell’s fluids have never let me down. The truck has 800000 km- 12000 engine hours on it and the engine runs as good as it did the day I drove it off the lot. Doesn’t use any oil at all from oil change to oil change. I Switched to t6 at 400000km and run the 5w40 year round. I chan...

This is the only oil I will use in my 2014 GMC 2500 Diesel! We pull a 37ft 5th wheel and this make one less thing to ever worry about!

Works great in Ram 1500 Diesel

Would Recommend

I have been using this in my 3.0L EcoDiesel since the first oil change; better oil pressure than the OEM oil, and Chrysler has since made this the recommended oil for that engine. 10K mile oil change intervals, doesn't use a drop. Starts fine in cold weather too (only down to -10F here in Texas...). PS: I cannot imagine why someone would use a Diesel oil in a motorcycle.

Best Diesel Oil

Would Recommend

I've used this in my Duramax pickup since 2004. I has helped keep my engine like new. I bought a V-4 Honda motorcycle four years ago and was pleased that the ST Owners forum recommended this same oil. After 50,000 miles in less than four years my ST performs like new.

Worth the switch to full synthetic

Would Recommend

I have a 2009 Silverado 3500HD. This is the first time I've used Full Synthetic during an oil change. The Duramax loves it.

Keeps my engines running

Would Recommend

I run Rotella T6 5w-40 in my 2011 Ram 2500 Cummins, and in my 2002 Audi A4 1.8t. The 1.8t is notorious for sludge issues, but Rotella has kept mine clean as can be.

Excellent MPG and great protection

Would Recommend

I use it on my 2015 Eco-diesel with 84,000 miles. The oil gives me excellent MPG, I've gotten almost 34mpg on the highway 28-29 on the street. But the best part is getting money back and earning points!

Works great in my motorcycle!

Would Recommend

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 ...

Use in everything!

Would Recommend

I use Rotella T6 in almost everything I own and have owned in the past. Its in my Toyota 4Runner, Its in my sons Kawasaki KX65 two-stroke, Its in my my Honda CRF450R, and also my CRF150R, Its in my lawnmower, and Its in my 4-stroke weed eater. It also does not cause any clutch slippage in wet clutches. I don't use it in my Tundra and Honda Odyssey because its not the right viscosity but I wish I could. I've used T6 exclusively for years in all my engines and never had a problem or any signs of w...
