Looking through the list that comes up when typing the threat title, the closest thread to the one I'm making was this one: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/sn-ck-4-in-gas-engine.336549/
However, this thread was for a vehicle that had no catalyst on it. I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are. In a gas vehicle that burns little to no oil (and I'm not sure it even burns it, it might just leak a bit as I have to add about a quart per 5k), is a non-dual rated CK-4 diesel oil a bad idea with a gas vehicle that still has the catalyst on it? The vehicle in question is my Caravan which is in my sig. I know the issue usually is the concentration of ZDDP in CK-4 oils that do not have the S rating as well.
How likely is it to damage the catalyst? I assume for it to do damage, it has to get to the catalyst in some fashion, which would pretty much mean that the vehicle burns oil, and I would think it would have to burn a good deal of it for it to actually cause an issue. What are your thoughts?
I'm currently running Rotella T5 15w-40 in the van. I have a good bit of Rotella in my stash as well, in T4, T5, and T6 varieties.
