The reason engine manufacturers recomend 40wt oil is because they have
been recomending it for years , it has not given any problems , but come
on you guys technology has moved ahead somewhat since Rotella was
invented, Synthetic is the latest technology it is a proven product ,
ask any motor sport organisation if they still use mineral oil in race
car engines . Interstate truckers have been using it here for about 12
years because they can extend change intervals it is far more protective
and they believe they get better mileage and engine protection. you have
a computer get some synthetic oil!!
