Interesting, I was recently getting opinions onRotella locally, as I've hea=
rd from a couple of guys they run it in this andthat HP motors on a regular=
 basis (non Vintage guys), not just breakin. I sent a note to Shell andthey=
 say =E2=80=9CT6 5W-40 has approximately 1280 parts permillion of ZDDP=E2=
=80=9D.=C2=A0 This is aboutthe same as the Mobil One I run. That said a loc=
al detractor said it has toomuch detergent in his opinion.


SOoooo =E2=80=93 that=E2=80=99s all I can say, no firsthandexperience, but =
am considering running it. I like the discussion, and BTW the Rotella isn't=
 particularly cheap, have to watch em, it's a 4 qt jug vs most others are 5=
 qt.

I don't have an ax to grind with Lucas Oil products, but I sure do endorse =
Shell Rotella as a race engine break-in oil.=C2=A0 I always used it exclusi=
vely in the diesel engine in my tow vehicle, and we used it to break in rac=
e engines as well.
