Rotella Oil
Does anyone use Rotella T-6 full synthetic 5W40 motor oil in their RV?
I have a 1994 Chevy 454 with 50K miles on it.
I use Rotella T-6 in everything I have and was getting ready to change oil in my RV. I been using Mobil One but I have plenty of Rotella T-6.

Rotella T6 is a great heavy duty oil and is absolutely fine in gas motors. Some folks decry that it is a "diesel oil" and shouldn't be run in a gas motor. Nonsense! Look at the label on the container, besides the diesel ratings it is also rated SM, SL which are oil ratings for gasoline engines.
Use it and be happy!

I use it in everything I have that is a 4stroke engine. From portable generators, lawn & garden to motorcycles(Its JASCO MA rated for wet clutches) to my truck & SUV. On the vehicles(other than MH) I do a once a year change with a filter change at 6months. Been doing that for years.

They are about the same price but I had a few mail in coupons and got $5 off each gallon of Rotella T-6.

I have been using the T-6 in my 2006 Goldwing (I wouldn't put just anything in it) and I think it is one of the best synthetic oil made. The cost is less than Mobil 1, which is also a good oil. Some drivers thanks it is only for diesel motors. It is for Gas and diesel motors.
