I ran diesel oil in my '94 yukon for the entirety of it's 260k miles. My dad always said the same. The zinc was better for it. When I got rid of it, it was still running fine and driving fine.
I’ve been using rottela t 15w-40 in my 70 Camaro for this reason.
For my Z with 210k miles i switched to the one your holding and it burns less. I get an extra 150 to 200 extra miles compared to mobile 1.
I use Rotella in old VW Bug. Seems to work well but i put very few miles on the car.
I always use full synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30
I run Rotella in my 49 flathead and in my 91 civic.
As long as you don't have a catalytic converter on it Diesel oil with Zinc is the best
I run Rotella in my E24 at the advice of people on the BMW forums.
So I took his advice and did the Rotella T-4 and MMO in my 71 LeSabre 350. Added a little to the gas, too. I run 93 octane gas. Engine is stock and original, about 90k miles. It's running so smooth now. It was an immediate, noticeable difference.
My 1.8T has just over 103k miles. I got it at 78k, and until about the 95k mile mark, I've been using M1 0W-40, then switched to M1 5w-40 Truck and Turbo-diesel, since I wanted peace of mind with its extra additives and protection. I figured since this oil is meant for high operating temps and high load in turbo-diesel engines, it would be just as good in my daily-driven and weekend-tracked 1.8T. I change my oil a few days before going to beat on it over the weekend, otherwise I'll change it every 3k to 5k miles. Also, I have had some valve noise (tapping of some sort), the whole time I've had the car. I'm guessing it's lifter noise. I'm not sure, but I was told to try a heavier weight to counteract it, hence the switch to the only decent 5W-40 sold on base. Still no difference in noise.
