Definitely some strong marketing. It changed my mind on what I was going to buy. Not T6, but the Triple Protection.
Shell Rotella T Triple Protection
"22-percent reduction in engine wear"
Wow!
T6
"protection for the latest low emissions technology for after treatment systems and helps promote energy savings and maintenance savings".
Doesn't sound too exciting.
[b]Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend
"fuel economy performance and improved low-temperature flow"
Not too exciting for me.
Rotella T3
"low-ash additive technology, outstanding shear stability"
I like shear stability. Not sure about low-ash additive.
My conclusion
For my 2000 diesel pickup, I think Rotella T Triple Protection with the 22% reduction in engine wear tops my list.
Did someone else come to a different conclusion?
Isn't the Triple Protection a non-synthetic oil?
And why would anyone be extremely excited about T6?
