Not So Pro 3

+1 Ever since Rotella reduced the zddp levels in their T6, the additive is a good idea. When I inquired about why they dropped the levels, I was told that too many people were trying to run T6 in their modern gasoline vehicle, and the zinc kills catalytic converters.

5W-40 Rotella T6 is almost a victim of its own success there ay. Folks would me much better served by Helix Ultra in the gas engines that it suits. I run HU 5-40 in our K24 Honda and the 3.2 Diesel in my FordMazda. But I researched the shyt out of it before doing so.

This is the stuff I add.

No that’s not what I’m saying. The crankcase pressure is higher than the oil is designed to withstand if you neglected the ccv system maintenance intervals

Booo

Fwiw Adam recommended I use valvoline blue in my chebby.

Bingo. That noise has been there for a long time lol. Now that diesels are quiet because of the use of pilot injection on common rails lowering cylinder pressure you can hear it

Bingo? The bulletin says nothing about said bubbles ruining bearings.

You can think how you want.

I run this in my tractor.

Im not upset Pat. I just don't buy into the hypothesis that high crankcase pressure wipes out bearings because it exceeds the pressure motor oil was designed to run at. The pressure on an oil film under the pressures of a the firing cycle is many times what crankcase pressure would ever be.

This Adam? Did IIIIIII????

Chebby gas or Duramax by Isuzu diesel tho?

How much psi do you think a valve cover gaskets can take before venting? Or a main seal. More than the pressures on the oil in a crank journal bearing? Nope.

I’m wrong and you’re smarter than me. Been wrong about everything I’ve ever said. Better?

Good afternoon fellas.

Read this from an actual study. I'll text you the link. 50 mpa is 500 bar which is over 7000 psi.

Don't be a fuggin child bro.
