After a horrible accident with a cheap drainplug I had put on the Mazda at last OC (those plugs with an integrated rubber gasket, gasket disintegrated for some reason and was leaking, first time that happens to me), I am now running the JD oil in the Mazda. Will have to do through winter, until snow is gone.
You have snow already?
Thank goodness, no. I meant I usually change the oil before winter, around October. This JD oil will get a few more months of use than my usual winter oil.

John Deere Plus 50 II 0W40 - Mazda 6 2.3L
Waste of good oil and short winterish covid run. I usually change the oil twice a year (before and after our Canadian winters), and couldn't get myself not to do it this year. Oil in use for 9 1/2 months. Car is a 2007 2.3L Mazda 6. Previous UOA was Mobil TDT 5W40. Since I've been working from...

That appears to have phosphorous down to SN levels, I guess it's not just rebranded Rotella T6 0w40 it's a different oil because Rotella T6 has around 1100ppm phosphorous.
I was thinking the same. Also more moly and boron, no?
Probably, I've only seen a CJ-4 VOA, I only know the CK-4 version has 1100ppm because Shell disclosed that to me but I have no clue on if the CK-4 version has any more boron or moly because the CJ-4 version had only like 50ppm of boron and 5ppm of moly although perhaps T6 has a different kind of moly.
