Re: What oil? Rotella T?

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There has been a lot of discussion about this in the Forwardlook Forum My 
research has convinced me that diesel oils and racing oils are not a good 
choice for daily driven cars where it may be 2-3000 miles between oil 
changes.  Choose any esily obtainable car formulated oil-synthetic if you 
wish, and add high conentrate additive of ZDDP. GM EOS additive is not 
enough for 2-3000 miles. ZDDPlus is what I use, but now there are other 
brands that will work too...............MO
