After reading some comments, and UOA's from some seeingly knowledgeable people on this forum, I am almost convinced to stick with dino diesel oil for my duramax pickup. These oils are obviously very cost effective especially when bought in large jugs (rotella 10 quart jug for 30 dollars), my only two worries about using any of the big name hdeo's (rotella,delo,delvac) are turbo coking, and engine cleanliness, and maybe better fuel mileage? I worry most about the turbo aspect, because I have always been told you should run a synthetic in any turbocharged engine due to the heat issue, which supposedly dino oils are not up to the task for protecting? I run my duramax very hard to say the least,and I have also upgraded it for more power which in turn generate more heat. I live in michigan, so I will at least go with a synthetic in winter, but for summer I will probably stay with dino. I would really like to use rotella T6 year round, but summer temps scare me with a 5w40 oil and its large viscosity spread (shearing). Is this a good choice for a hard driven turbo diesel? I know large over the road trucks run dino 15w40 but also have a much much larger capacity, and that makes a big difference in the oil life.
