Not So Pro 3

Seems like the ratings have gotten a little *f-wordy lately. Seems like the favored Delo and Rotella may not be up to par anymore. Oh and GFY Bish.

Booo

Daughter traded hers in on a new Jeep Cherokee once they told her $2700 for new pistons. Still curious if Seafoam or a different oil would help it

Red Armor...

I like to add this to the oil on anything that has flat tappets. Helps make the oil more gooder again

 

[Slumberjack]

So you are seeing higher crankcase pressures than the 25-80 psi in the oil system. Interesting.

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

 

[Slumberjack]

Figured you would like this one.

Its microscopic air bubbles in the oil popping from the pressure between the crank bearings.

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

 

[Slumberjack]

Agreed.
It appears the oil companies are giving the end consumer a GFY courtesy of the EPA.
And hippies.
Cant forget the hippies.
And GFY back at ya Mikey.

Modern oils definitely don’t seem to be what they use to be

Those microscopic bubbles collapse under pressure. Just like foam in a soft drink only appear when the pressure is released.

As to the HDEO, CK is another example of how the most recent oil spec is not necessarily an improvement. CJ Rimula (Rotella) or Delo for me thanks in that space.

 

[Mastermind]

I use Rotella with a zinc additive in my tractors, and my older vehicles.

+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.
