well put. that makes sense. I was killing time before work and tried to find syn rotella, no luck. I did find amsoil 15/40 syn though. check this out  AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Engine Motor Oil?

I'm not an SAE oil engineer, but from what I've read, the additive package best suited to the 2F type of motor is now only found in oils that have the diesel certification; and some of these are synthetic.
I've run synthetics in everything I've owned - going back to the introduction of Arco Graphite, - including Air Compressors, Lawn Mowers, and weed whackers.
But in the cruiser I will run Rotella T (when it's running  ).
That's just what I think is best, not necessarily the "Best" oil out there. |
