I have a stash of 10w-30 Full Synthetic Torque Power 4x4 Truck oil that is the oldest of what I have in my stash. The truck that I'll be using it in is in my autosig, and I generally use 5w-30 in it, but when I saw the deal on this oil I couldn't pass on it since I know I can use it as a summer oil.
The truck was a certified sludge bucket when I first bought it, and through the miracle of time which includes taking it down, cleaning out everything I could by hand and running short OCIs using cleaning additives and conventional oil and also one run with Rotella T6 syn, which by the way, cleaned it VERY well from what I saw in the drain pan, it is in sludge remission and my conventional oil now stays clear indefinitely.
I want to begin going with normal OCIs (5000 miles minimum) using fully synthetic oils with strong detergents to continue the cleaning process and since purchasing this truck, I ended up with a sizable stash of this oil, and I was going to use either PP, PU or M1-HM (I have these in my stash too) for a year or so before using this QS Syn oil, but the date on this oil is 2006, so it's the oldest in my stash and I'd like to get it out of there before moving on to other stuff.
What are your thoughts on using this QS Full Syn? I know it's good for an engine that's already clean, but what about an engine that still needs some attention regarding cleaning it out?
