What would you use if it were yours? I used Rotella 15w40 in them when I had a whole bunch of them, but that was a long time ago.

Now I see "Rotella T4" and "Rotella Triple Protection"...I guess a lot has changed in 12 years.

Thoughts?

Rotella 15w40 is what i always used, too. would that be the 466B? I'm not sure when the C came out. I had one of each, and the only real difference seemed to be the injector pump. I didn't have them for long though.

I think it is a B. Has the rotary pump.

I'd be ok running Delvac 1300 or Rotella T4 in a 15w40.

I think if Rotella 15W40 was good enough for it then, the new and improved T4 should be better for it now.

I'll stick with Rotella, just wanted to assure myself it was still as good now as it was then. Thanks!
