austinsailor Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Not trying to revive the zinc argument, but I was just in a Midwest farm and home supply store called Orschlen's to get oil. I was actually looking for some cheap oil to put in the chain drive compartment if my skidloader, but found Rotella T on sale cheaper than the off brand stuff. More interesting, they stock Rotella T1, and it's CF, several versions before the current CJ. It's listed as for "Older turbo and non- turbo tractors and trucks". The F version will still have the full dose of zinc. I wasn't aware they made this, and they don't mention zinc as the reason, but it'll be everything we would want. They do still make version CH, which is listed as being for the old 2 cycle Detroit diesels, but I've only seen it in by the drum. This CF in gallons is a much more convenient way to go. Quote
austinsailor Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Posted August 18, 2015 I'm in Wally World and see it on the shelf here as well. $13.77 a gallon. I guess at least Shell figured out old cars need old version oil. Quote
wayfarer Posted August 18, 2015 Report Posted August 18, 2015 Just had a chance to look for details and the Shell website says this is.... Shell Rotella® T1 is an easy-flow monograde providing quality lubrication and consistent performance with well-proven performance additives to fight engine corrosion and wear. I did not see this on the Walmart website. This is from the Shell website for Rotella Triple Quote
